Queen Beatrix Jewels

[Tilia C.]

The tiara is truly beautiful and this photograph shows it's details really well. Of course it helps that the picture is taken at an angle from above. Otherwise the details of the base would have remained hidden.

Princess Beatrix had the better tiara last night and has always suited her hairstyle.

Queen Beatrix has always looked good in the Pearl-button tiara, one that she has worn well on many an occasion over the decades.

Beatrix 's hair is perfect for that tiara where it didn't have the same wow effect on the Princess of Orange.
What a difference a hairstyle can make.

I completely agree with you...Somehow, on Amalia it looks like she is wearing some kind of "barbie tiara".

On Beatrix, it looks regal.

When worn by Maxima it also most of the time doesn't work. Only at her Wedding Day and when she wore it for Princess Märtha Louis'e Wedding. One Princesses Beatrix and Margriet it always look great because it sinks a bit in their hair.

And Beatrix is naturally regal and has worn some really beautiful jewels over the years.

I hate to be morbid but what will happen to Beatrix's personal jewels ?
I'm sure the former monarch has a very impressive personal jewel chest.

I am sure her personal jewels will end up being divided amongst her children and grandchildren, as happens in most families. In some cases, younger, non-main line royal children may prefer to take more money than jewellery, but Mabel will certainly not need the cash and I suspect will take their share of the jewellery. I amnot quite sure of how well off Constantijn is, and what his preference might be.

More or less alike in Britain, inheritances and gifts to the King are free of taxes.
I can imagine Princess Beatrix leaving it all to the King, with remainders.

Meaning: using the King as a "hub" for the distribution of properties.

Constitution

Article 40

Second lemma

The payments received by members of the Royal House from the State, together with such assets as are of assistance to them in the exercise of their duties, are exempt from personal taxation.

In addition, anything received by the King or his heir presumptive from a member of the Royal House by inheritance or as a gift is exempt from taxation. Additional exemption from taxation may be granted by Act of Parliament.

The purpose of this article is to keep the royal assets intact. Otherwise the King would be slammed with hefty taxes on items like the Golden State Coach, palace inventories or artworks, while it are items seen as "necessary for a proper execution of the royal dignity".

Princess Beatrix went to a concert today, on August 26th, and wore this beautiful pin. I cannot remember seeing a photo of it before.

The former monarch has a really lovely collection of personal jewels and nothing too gaudy or plastic.

Can anyone tell me more about the beautiful jewellery Beatrix is wearing in these photos taken at the occasion of her 80th birthday? The earrings and brooch look like milky aquamarines. I cannot find any information anywhere.

@dutchroyaljewels on Instagram has traced the large sapphire to Queen Juliana. The earrings should be either also sapphires or possibly chalcedony.

That's interesting, thanks! I never would have thought they were sapphires. They looked so light and almost turquoise to me, reminded me of a milky aqua set I have.

Beatrix is wearing the Rose Cut Bandeau

Her necklace seems very similar to that of her younger sister.

 

[Marengo]

The bandeau is lovely and must be easy to wear, but sadly still gets lost in her hair.

The family has various rivieres. I am never able to keep them apart TBH.

 

[maria-olivia]

Am I right , Queen /Princess Beatrix never wore the Stuart tiara ?

 

[Somebody]

Am I right , Queen /Princess Beatrix never wore the Stuart tiara ?

Yes, she might have preferred tiaras that weigh less than 2.4 kg.

 

[Tilia C.]

You are correct, Maria-Olivia. The Stuart tiara has never been worn by Beatrix, which really is a pity, imho.

 

[An Ard Ri]

The Rose Cut Bandeau is somewhat lost in Beatrix's hairstyle!

 

[Stefan]

Indeed. One of the 2 smaller pearl tiaras would have been better

 

[muriel]

Am I right , Queen /Princess Beatrix never wore the Stuart tiara ?

That is correct. After Juliana, Maxima was the next wearer of the tiara. She first wore it in Luxembourg, without the Stuart diamond.
