This is a link to The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor for Royal Outfit of the Day: October 26 2015. I hope that's OK.

Scroll down for the discussion about her pearls.
Per that blog:
Note that the pearl necklace she wears is actually attached to her the zipper area at the back of her dress so that it sits just right on the neckline.

Her huge pearl necklace is thought to be the Russian set of pearls given by Alfonso XII to his bride, Maria de las Mercedes of Orl?ans, as a wedding present in 1878. Maria de las Mercedes passed away just five months after marrying the King. But her pearls, originally a length of 41 pearls later shortened to 37, have remained with the Queens of Spain. They were included in the list of jewelry Queen Victoria Eugenia designated the joyas de pasar, the jewels that are passed from queen to queen. The list includes some of the most important pieces the Spanish royal family has, including the Fleur de Lys Tiara, and these pearls are considered by some to be the most valuable. It's the first time Letizia has worn any of those jewels. Either a subtle way to inch into it or a mega splash, depending on your point of view. "
