9 tiaras !! I think Crown Princess Mazima has tiara more than other Princess...

I don't think she owns any of the tiaras, except maybe her wedding tiara, all the jewells belong to a foundation and she can borrow them when she needs.

I think that's right, I don't think that she really owns a tiara because most of the tiaras & jewels were put once in a foundation. But as Auntie said, she can use these jewels when she needs them.

If you compare it with HRH Princess Claire, ... Claire has her own tiara... Maxima hasn't a tiara of her own but can wear the whole collection.

No Dutch royal owns major jewels or possessions

I think that's right, I don't think that she really owns a tiara because most of the tiaras & jewels were put once in a foundation. But as Auntie said, she can use these jewels when she needs them.

If you compare it with HRH Princess Claire, ... Claire has her own tiara... Maxima hasn't a tiara of her own but can wear the whole collection.

Queen Wilhelmina (1880-1962) and her daughter Queen Juliana (1909-2004) were single children and the single heiresses of all the Orange-Nassau fortunes and possessions. This was an unique and never seen situation: all the jewels, the artworks, the properties, the archives, the libraries, the estates, for an exceptional long time in ownership of one single person.

Because Netherlands civic law requires that the surviving spouse and all children have the right on specific equal parts of the heritage, this would mean a break up into 4 children and their 14 children and their .... children.

To avoid the prizeless collections to be broken up and sold off, Queen Juliana has put almost everything into the ownership of various family-foundations like the Foundation Historic Collections of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Foundation Archives of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Foundation Crown Properties of the House of Orange-Nassau, etc.

Of course the princesses do have personal jewelry, for an example parts of the huge 1901 Diamond Wedding Gift Parure, but the main jewels, the gold-, silver- and crystalware, the artworks, the carriages, the inventory of the many palaces, etc. are no longer in personal ownership.

However this was a difficult step to take (you give away family properties in trusts), the advantage is that for eternity the wonderful collections will remain together, so that also Queen Catharina-Amalia will be able to eat from golden plates once used by Mary II Stuart. That also Countess Eloïse can ride to her wedding church in a carriage which once transported Queen Anna Paulovna. That Princess Máxima can wear the House Diamonds which once dazzled Napoleon's contemporaries.

That tiara must be too heavy, Maxima looked like she need to have a good cry. http://img289.imageshack.us/my.php?image=maxima2atp7.jpg

Does anyone know where this emerald tiara (the one she wore to the Australia visit) came from? Who first wore the tiara? Is it a mixture of tiaras?

Has anyone seen them before?

I made an update of the Tiara Collection.

Now you can see every tiara Máxima ever wore (I hope I didn't forget any event).
She wore a tiara for 17 times.

What is the tiara Maxima's wearing in the first image, the third line? I'm quite interested in it.

What is the tiara Maxima's wearing in the first image, the third line? I'm quite interested in it.

It is the base of Queen Anna's drop pearl tiara. She also wore the tiara in Oslo, for the wedding of Haakon and Mette-Marit. The Queen usually wears the tiara with 7 upstanding pearls. More information on John's excellent site.

Thank you, Marengo!!
Do you have any pictures of Queen Anna's drop pearl tiara?

 

[uriel]

Is Queen Anna's drop pearl tiara the one: Württemberg Ornate Diamonds-and-Pearls Diademe?

 

[Marengo]

Thank you, Marengo!!

Sure, just click on this link and you will be able to see them: Queen Anna's drop pearl tiara.

 

[Marengo]

No, that diademe is much more elaborate & has never been worn by Maxima (yet). Click on this link to see the tiara (from Johns wonderfull site again): Wurttemberg Pearl Tiara.

Thank you, Marengo! But I can't log in John's website. Will try later.

It seems to be a favourate of the Queen's.

 

[Henri M.]

It seems to be a favourate of the Queen's.

No, the Queen's absolute alltime favourite is Queen Emma's floral diademe in the smallest setting: http://members.lycos.nl/oranjenassau/new_page_7.htm

This is by far THE diademe she prefers and she has worn uncountable times. It is small, it is light, it is comfortable but still it provides enough sparkle.

Henri M, I can't log in any webpages you provided!! Could you just upload the images to the forum?
BTW, are the images tiaras on display or tiaras worn by the royal ladies? Thank you.

 

[ZandraRae]

Hi uriel, the tiaras are worn by the royal ladies, and are not on display.

They are beautiful.

New pearls?

Are the South Sea pearl earrings and necklace she wore on Friday to the Sydney Opera House new? I don't recall seeing them before.

The earrings were worn before by the Princess and I think the black pearls are a loan from Her Majesty. I have seen the Queen with these black pearls quite regularly.

Thank you! Henri M!
I like this tiara, too. It's small, yet shining
