It has been so long since we have seen these gorgeous Royal Jewels of the Dutch. The ladies have been spending some serious fun time in the vault deciding which jewels to wear!! They have NOT dissapointed!!!

The Peacock Tiara is absolutely beautiful. Are the stones rubies or pink sapphires?

Now that I'd like to see!  I think the referral was to King Harald's birthday party. Princess Maxima was pregnant with Ariane and wore an olive colored gown that evening. (There is a great photo of Maxima dancing with Prince Henrik belly to belly.)

I've read that the stones are rubies. Apparently this tiara has not been seen since 1969! Princess Irene wore it then. I'm glad to see that more of the jewels are coming out of the vaults.

Spot on
I think this was a great look. I really like the way the hair do and the 'new' tiara complement each other. The necklace looks far better this time than the first time she wore it (but then I hated everything about that look...). The best link I have for that at the mo is here, the last 2 pictures in the 3rd row up from the bottom.

They all are shared.

He already has updated it! It is a really gorgeous site: Thanks, John!
What a treat to see the peacock tiara again! John mentions on his site that it was given to Princess Irene and was believed to have been sold by her. I wonder what happened to it in the meantime, but we might never find out.
Maxima looks wonderful with this tiara, the hairstyle is perfect and the peacock tiara suits her much better than the Mellerio ruby tiara, which look somewhat too angled on her. The ruby neckless she wore is from the Mellerio ruby parure and it complements the peacock tiara perfectly, since there are spiral elements in both.
