Abstract
Alexandre-Gabriel Lemonnier realizó entre 1850 y 1851 numerosas joyas para la reina española Isabel II. Entre ellas destacaron dos aderezos: uno de diamantes, esmeraldas y perlas con motivos vegetales y cintas, y el otro de diamantes y zafiros con florones heráldicos e inspiración medieval. Las joyas fueron presentadas en la Gran Exposición de Londres de 1851, siendo premiado Lemonnier con la Medalla del Consejo y alcanzando con ello el prestigio internacional. Documentos de archivo, catálogos oficiales, noticias de prensa y grabados permiten reconstruir la imagen, los detalles materiales y técnicos y la historia de estas joyas.
