The tiaras the diamonds are all just mouthwatering she has IMO the best collections and she wears them really beautifully.
And at Victoria and Daniel's Wedding she wore them pinned on her sash. But did she also wear stars at the Weddings in Monaco and Luxemburg? Don't think so.It appears that Maxima wore the stars as a tibute to her own wedding. At previous white tie weddings she had worn her wedding star tiara, in London the stars went to her turban! Great idea, if you ask me, although I'm not fond of the turban hat per se.
Maybe she stopped wearing the wedding stars because the press and us royal watchers started to see the logic behind it? It could be that she didn't want to be predictable in her choices. But that's just speculation, of course.And at Victoria and Daniel's Wedding she wore them pinned on her sash. But did she also wear stars at the Weddings in Monaco and Luxemburg? Don't think so.
That is true.
In Luxembourg she wore earrings, bracelets and a brooch made from old mined diamonds set in gold.
In Monte-Carlo she wore earrings and a bracelet with diamonds and citrines.

At least we'll get some more options for the thread "worst royal jewels"

Hey there, Erik Schoonhoven here.
A few corrections on the posts above:
- the antique Dutch earrings were not bought from Dekker Antiquairs directly, but they do come from the collection of antique Dutch jewellery they currently sell and which you can see here (including earrings very similar to those of Queen Maxima: Juwelen - Dekker Antiquairs
An example of how these earrings were worn back in the old days, can be found on my website: Queen Máxima's Dutch Earrings » Erik Schoonhoven's website
- Queen Maxima today indeed wore the brooch that is photoshopped in the picture, but because of the angle of the photo, this isn't visible.
On her first day in Denmark, Queen Maxima wears her new sapphire earrings and a big sapphire brooch:

Note that the brooch that is photoshopped into the picture is not the brooch that HM is wearing.
The diadem is worn in a larger version, the middle aigrette with large central sapphire is back on top:
April 30th 2013: a large round diamond instead of the middle aigrette (resulting in a round bridge flow)
Tonight: with middle aigrette, making the diadem more "gothic" (resulting in a more pointy bridge flow)
