The Marichalar Tiara that The Infanta Elena has worn over the years.
This diamond tiara was created by Ansorena and was also worn by many of the Marichalar noble ladies on their wedding days.

Queen Ena's pearls
Sadly these are no longer with the Spanish RF
The six strand pearl necklace came from Queen Maria Cristina who gave them to Queen Ena who in turn left them to her daughter, the Infanta Beatriz.
The Infanta Beatriz lent them to Princes Sofia in June 1962 to wear to the Vatican.

The Infanta wore the jewels at quite a few events ,most notably at the Investiture of Queen Beatrix in 1980.
The turquoise jewels were later remodelled and given to her daughter in law Barbara Cano as a wedding gift.

Thanks for posting the link.
The cental button on the tiara has been replaced by a diamond fleur de lys element. Imo that looks very nice.

Yes indeed I believe it was a wedding gift from the groom and very appropriate too with the Spanish Borbons!
