The Princess of Orange Jewels 1: 2022 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The Mellerio ruby tiara is not one of my favourites and didn't work with her hairstyle.
Had the Princess of Orange had an upstyle is might have worked better.
 
I guess she’s experimenting . At least she’s keen to have a go wearing these gorgeous jewels - many youngsters might take a different view. The Queen seems happy to indulge her ( or perhaps it’s the King).
 
Never Princesses Mette Marit, Victoria, Stephanie, and former Mary , Maxima and Mathilde , were allowed to wear the grand jewels they are for the Queens. Much better ! To me the parure on Amalia was to much. But she knows already how to wear grand jewels... No surprise anymore
 
That tiara was worn by Maxima and Beatrix when they were princesses.
What I thought was too much was the top part of the earrings and the bracelet. It helps that she doesn't wear a necklace.

I could be wrong but I don't think there are jewels that are solely reserved for use by the Queen in the Dutch Collection other than Maxima's personal jewels.

Princess Beatrix wore much of the larger jewels, also as a princess. including even the mellerio sapphire tiara at the wedding of the CPss of Denmark. The Wurttemberg tiara she wore at the state visit of Queen Margrethe II in the seventies and this particular ruby tiara by Mellerio she wore while she was in her twenties, at an event in Athens (don't remember which one it was). So in that light it fits into a Dutch royal tradition. As princess, Máxima has also worn the mellerio ruby tiara.

But I agree, it would be perhaps good to start with some smaller ones. Her grandmother's laurel tiara for example, which seems to be degraded to only those who are not expected to become Queen.

I think they only one who is only worn by the Queen is the Stuart tiara. Beatrix wore the ornate diamond and pearl tiara for her Wedding and also several times afterward but it was not often worn by Queen Julina. She also wore the big sapphire tiara a few times before becoming Queen.
 
I was wrong for Princesses Beatrix and Maxima and happy for Princess Amalia.
But Princesses Mette Marit and Victoria never wore Queens Tiaras until now.
 
I love that her parents are letting her wear whichever tiaras/jewels she wants to wear when she's attending state visits. I think she looks great in them.
