Maxima's tiara appearances in 2024:

According to Rick Evers the ruby parure was a christmas gift. Fitting with the colour of course. A pity HM never wore the stomacher though in this SV the chain would have gotten in the way.

Quite a modest year, tiara/wize... only three appearances.

For the return dinner, Queen Maxima wore an unusual pair of stud earrings. I haven't seen better pictures yet.

I can't really make out the earrings ,the insect brooch too works nicely.

I can't place them either though the photos are not very clear. Could it be the smaller top diamonds of the Stuart tiara? She normally gets the two larger ones.

I don't think they are the smaller top diamonds from the Stuart tiara, but will hold back on a firm view till better pictures are available.

Is the stomacher still in existence? Have often read that he was probably broken up and smaller broches etc. have been made of it.

I believe its from the Stuart tiara too.

They are the smaller clusters from the House Diamond tiara, indeed

Whilst the design is not one that instinctively appeals to me, Maxima does have the stature and presence to carry them off well.

A lot of these pieces reflect the queens personal taste ,not everyone's cup of tea!

They both seem to have a taste for eccentric clothes and jewellery.

Josine´s blog modekoninginmaxima has an article about the rings the King gave his wife for the birth of their daughters.

The first one seems the most modest one, a central ruby flanked by two diamonds and was created by Steltman, The Hague. The one of Alexia´s birth has a large orange diamond. Before the birth of Alexia WA was notified the diamond would be auctioned. Steltman jewellers made this ring our of the diamond. And for Ariane there is a big rectangular central diamond flanked by two smaller diamonds.

I never realised it's an orange diamond, always though it was a topaz or citrine. Either ring must've cost a small fortune!

 

[Marengo]

I had always thought it was a less expensive stone too. The ring must be worth a fortune indeed. Personally I would have preferred if the king had used the money to acquire a proper emerald tiara, but of course the ring can be worn much more frequently.

A look at the Opal Floral brooch worn by Queen Maxima last week ,it originally belonged to Queen Emma and dates from the end of the 19th Century.
