Queen Letizia wears sparkling $19.90 earrings from Zara
Queen Letizia of Spain is known for her style (especially her amazing collection of shoes), and her ability to regally rock a priceless tiara. But as she stepped out for an official engagement this week, she showed that swoon-worthy jewels don't have to break the bank, donning a pair of gem-encrusted earrings that looked like they could be from the royal family's treasures, but actually cost under $20.

For a sunny spring day visiting the 'El Bosco' 5th Centenary Anniversary Exhibition at Madrid's famed Prado museum with former Dutch queen Princess Beatrix, King Felipe's wife set off her leather Hugo Boss skirt suit with 'Colorful Gems Earrings' from Spanish fashion chain Zara. The affordable chandelier earrings, studded with blue, clear and amber stones, have a pricetag of just $19.90.

The mother-of-pearl earrings saw another outing when Queen Letizia met with big names from the medical and scientific fields at Zarzuela Palace. This time she swapped out the interchangable ruby-look stones with ebony tear-drop gems to complement her monochrome black and white outfit.
