i don't think it's the wedding tiara of mabel. the center motif looks too "full".

I think you can combine this Tiara in different ways...Don't know exactly, but maybe it's another version of the mabel-Tiara

.
I just cannot think of another Dutch Tiara that looks like this.

Well, let's put a clear pic of Mabel's wedding tiara next to it to compare it. :) I'm actually pretty sure it's Mabel's wedding tiara.

(Pic from ANP)

As you can see there are 5 diamonds on one side, than there is the sixth one on the top, as is the same with the tiara Maxima is wearing. Next to that you should notice that Mabel is wearing the tiara on top of her hair (you can see the base) and Maxima isn't. She's wearing it in her hair. That's why it looks smaller. No, I'm pretty convinced. This is the same tiara as Mabel wore during her wedding... :)

I think you're right Maxie. According to me, this is the same tiara but may be it's the light or the way Maxima's wearing it that make the top a little different. But the side is the same, no doubt.

maxie, i cannot see the pic...

It's probably a modified form of Mabel's wedding tiara. The stones looks identical, but like berry said, the middle part of Maxima's tiara is filled-in. That's what I like about the Orange tiaras; some of them can be modified and are often do.

One thing I love about Maxima is that she has awesome jewels AND SHE WEARS THEM! That's what royalty should be about! She wears huge pieces so effortlessly and doesn't make it seem as if the jewels are wearing her. (like Camilla in the Dehli Durbar)

**Her_Majesty** · #**110** 06-13-2006, 03:38 PM

Today she wore the Diamond Bandeau Tiara, she wore before! :)
It looked pretty on her!

It's interesting, the Dutch RF seem to be able to take and use any Jewells they want, the Queen<princesses etc. all seem to wear the same tiaras, necklaces and brooches...

Created by Her Majesty, congratulations and many thanks for your great job !

For me the most beautiful tiara is the ruby one, very royal; I'm very found of also the number 2; diamonds like that in the hairdo so simple, is doing a terrific look more than ( for me ) the stars one that I don't like very much

The DRF has a foundation in which all the historical pieces are guarded. The Queen is the head of the foundation, but all the other princesses can use the tiara's etc. as long as they don't outshine the queen of course. Queen Juliana founded the foundation so the pieces would stick together and to keep them in the family. A very wise decision, imo.

I have never seen Maxima in this tiara before. She looks lovely though. :) Could you post a picture of Maxima wearing this tiara at another event? Thanks!

**Marengo** · #**115** 06-15-2006, 04:35 AM

You can see it in the collection Her_Majesty has posted, the 2nd tiara. I am glad she pulled her hair back this time so we could see ALL the diamonds of the diamond bandeau. Beatuiful in it's simplicity and gorgeous stones IMO.

Here's a better picture of the tiara Maxima wore to the gala dinner in Belguim. In Tialand there were not very good picture of her tiara. She's also wearing a diamond brooch (I can't tell which one it is) and diamond drop earrings.

It seems that the longer she is CPrincess, the more expensive Jewells she gets to use from the foundation?

**Her_Majesty** · #**118** 06-22-2006, 12:24 PM

I really love the Diamond Bandeau Tiara on Maxima! :)
It looks so much better on her then on Queen Beatrix. she just knows how to wear it in her hair.
