Nice that HM is honouring one of her predecessors. The exhibitions shows an amythist demi-parure; I wonder who owns it? Perhaps the Saxe-Weimar or Reuss families? According to the NOS, Queen Máxima was impressed by the jewels. The article states that the artwork come from 'international collections'.

Thanks for the update!
As expected, the Romanovs gave Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna an imperial dowry. I am not surprised that the jewells were grand.

I was surprised to see the info boards for each of the designs at Dutch Design Week have info in English. I get it that Eindhoven is a tech center, but English? Queen Maxima of The Netherlands displays her trim figure at Dutch Design Week* | Daily Mail Online

It has become quite normal in Europe to have bilingual signs. Language of the country and English. And English is becoming more and more prevalent, anyway. From "sale" signs to information signs (train stations, museums, etc.). More and more English words are mixed into the European languages. Sometimes to the amusement of native English speakers. E.g. "cell phone" translates to "Handy" in German, with an English pronounciation. A perfume store chain used "come in and find out" as a slogan. Lest not forget English swearwords, can't speak for other countries, but here in Germany the f-word, s-word and the one with bull... have become en vogue, you'll hear 'em everywhere, even from teachers.

@ topic: I like Queen Máxima's outfit. Especially that poncho. Very fitting. To Her Majesty and the season.

best wishes Michiru

Bi-lingual (dutch and english) is nowadays getting quite common, many international businesses have an office or plant in the NL and communication even in everyday business life is getting more and more bi-lingual.
