The beautiful large and impressive earrings were made in the 1960's, for (then) Princess Beatrix. It can be worn with large diamond or sapphire pendants. Most stones from this relatively 'new' (50 years old) but truly royal pair of earrings came from older, no longer used items in the collection of the House Orange-Nassau.
It is wonderful that Queen Beatrix is so generous towards her daughter-in-law. But I think that besides personal motifs (the Princess is dear to her) also simply non-personal motifs play a role. Máxima is a Princess of Orange-Nassau and the Queen is always sharp that the dignity and grand prestige of the House is upheld and maintained. Queen Beatrix does everything with purpose. Always.
