The Legend of the Pilgrim—Carmen Posadas

La Peregrina is, without a doubt, the most famous, if not the most extraordinary, pearl of all time. Originating from the waters of the Caribbean Sea, it was given to Philip II and since then became one of the main jewels of the Hispanic monarchy. It was passed down through the jewelry collections of several queens until, after the War of Independence, it was taken to France.

At that moment, the second life of La Peregrina began, culminating when, in the 20th century, Richard Burton gave it as a token of love to another legendary woman: the immense actress Elizabeth Taylor.

Confessing her inspiration from the contemporary classic El escarabajo by Mújica Laínez, Carmen Posadas chooses an object destined to pass from hand to hand and to have a hazardous, adventurous trajectory, undoubtedly worthy of the great novel the reader holds in their hands, as the protagonist of her new project.
