The Stuart parure...now that will be the day! I am hoping on a reintroduction by Maxima on the occassion of her husbands enthronement, but I fear that she will go for less grand jewelry. I have given up all hopes of Beatrix wearing that one.

If Maxima is not going to wear the devant corsage of the Melliero Ruby parure (Beatrix sure isn't) they might want to make a tiara out oof the stones, like Queen Ingrid did to one or two old devant corsages of Queen Alexandrine. It would of course mean the break up of an historical piece, but I dislike good jewels going to waste in the vaults even more. And now to get this post back to the topic: such a tiara would be lovely for Princess Ariane to wear in the future....
