Thanks for those close-ups as always salma!
The devant corsage belonged to Queen Sophie of The Netherlands, nee Pss of Württemburg. The last time that the complete version has been worn inpublic was in the early 1980s. I am glad that the Queen is using it again.

Looking at the Picture of Q. M. I have to say "Thank you". She is almost the only one (besides Q. E.) who is still showing up in substantial pieces of jewelry. So giving us jewelry Lovers a real feast.
I wish others would do the same - at least from time to time
Oh, bazinga! Maxima delights us jewel-a-loonies with the appearance of these luscious, massive pieces while enjoying the benefit of wearing them with her usual panache and style. She has not shirked from her responsibilities as Queen of the Magpies by any means at all and will certainly continue to hold us all in thrall.
