How nice it that!
I would love to have some royal jewelry, but 45 euro for a brooche; way too expensive.

It is pure silver and a cultivated pearl in it!

I think it's a wonderful brooche. Queen Beatrix wore it on her wedding with prince Claus:

It seems that the Dutch RF loan out their jewels to all members!

It seems that the Dutch RF loan out their jewels to all members!

As a matter of fact they have a foundation in which the royal jewels are kept, so they can be saved from being sold or given away to all kind of family members. Every queen or princess who belongs to the royal household is allowed to use the jewels in the vault. Though I think Queen Beatrix always has a say in it, but I'm not sure about that. Does somebody know how this foundation works exactly?

 

[jolanda oosterveen]

it works like this: any member who is in the royal family can wear the jewelery but when it is going up for sale the must offer it to the people of the royal family first before it is going to auction!

i really dont think most of the jewels can be sold.it seems counterproductive to say they have to be offered to the royal family first since the selling of heirlooms would likely only be the result of the royal family having fallen on hard times.

plus if they can be sold, that means they are an individuals property. the queens?

 

[pollyemma]

I think this was from some sort of premier/opening/party...can't remember the exact event, sorry!

I believe it was the gala ballet performance in honor of Mabel and Friso's wedding that was delayed out of the respect for Juliana's recent death.

i like the cut and design of the outfit though i wish she had worn it in more interesting colors than black and white.

Maxima wore a ruby and diamond necklace and two different bracelets also with diamonds and rubies on them. Also a ruby and diamond ring and ruby and diamond earrings.

Here's two views (I wish I had close ups):

Here is a view of the other bracelet, it almost looks like a snake but I think it's leaves on a vine or branch or something. And the ruby and diamond ring.

I like that ruby- diamond collection. That is really nice. I never seen that before.

Is not a large image of the jewels??

I like that ruby- diamond collection. That is really nice. I never seen that before.

The necklace and the bracelet on Maxima's left arm belong to the Mellerio parure made for Queen Wilhelmine, which also includes a tiara, a pair of earrings, a large stomacher and a smaller brooch (this brooch matches the necklace clasp and was previously a second one). All of them have been worn frequently by Queen Juliana and parts of the parure by Queen Beatrix and Maxima.
The bracelet on her right arm belongs to another ruby parure, called the Peacock parure, which also includes a necklace and a scroll brooch. Queen Beatrix wears it often with the brooch (on the formal dinner at Buckingham Palace for Queen Elisabeth II jubilee).
The ring looks more recent.

Thanks Gaël. Here's a good pic of Queen Juliana wearing the Mellerio Parure in all it's glory: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/369984-post19.html

Thank you, Warren. I still don't know how to post pictures and yours helps a lot illustrating my purpose.

what tiara did she use at the recent state visit

 

[HRHAmy]

New ruby parure for Maxima at King Carl's 60th birthday gala. I think this is very pretty on her. The hairstyle, the dress, the jewelry, everything was beautiful.

[Princess_Beatrix]

she wore the Aquamarine Tiara at the StateVisit from Luxembourg
I don't like this Tiara.. It looks like plastic.

 

[HRH Mims]

I agree with you. Its ugly, she looks like statue of freedom

 

[Amy]

I like the ruby parure on Maxima, it suits her very well. However, i do not like the aquamarine suite on her as it looks like it has been photo-enhanced onto her.

 

[laduchesse]

I think the ruby parure suits CP Maxima perfectly!

 

[almee]

I love the ruby parure that Maxima wore to the gala. It sparkles, just like she does.
I love all shiny & glittery things!... Especially jewelry!!!

 

[Saragli]

Has she worn this tiara before. Usually the Dutch RF is a big dissapointment when it comes to Tiaras but this tiara was beautiful.

 

[Warren]

Has she worn this tiara before?

No, this was Maxima's Mellerio debut.

I more think the gems looks like its have been made from acrilic . I think the stones real colour is more like light blue http://www.angelfire.com/de3/verenasroyaltiaras/Maxima.html. Yes it reminds me the statue of liberty

I am not sure if it is because of my computer monitor or the earing has two kind of gold (yellow and white).

 

[maxima88]
