I don't like the variety or the fact that tiara's are worn by several ladies in the family. I would prefer a system where some pieces have a special status like a Wedding Tiara and something like the Diadem QEII wears to the opening of parliament every year. In my view the bandeau a la Greque as the wedding tiara and the ears of wheat for the inauguration and Prinsjesdag would have worked very well. The Stuart parure, the Mellerio Ruby parure, the Saphire parure and the great Pearl tiara could be reserved for the Queen(s) and the Peacock Parure and the Pavlovnik Pearls for the Princess of Orange. Other women of the family could either get personal pieces or the use of some pieces or a parure for life. It would enhance the status of the jewels involved and it would link particular princesses to individual jewels. --Previous Message-- : I think all brides looked fantastic, I like : the variety in diadems. : Only the Van Vollenhoven ladies seem to have : a sort of wedding diadem tradition. : : Princess Beatrix with the Württemberg Ornate : Diadem : Princess Irene with a -now lost- : Bourbon-Parma diadem : Princess Margriet with the Pearl Buttons : Diadem : Princess Máxima with a diamond stars-diadem : Princess Mabel with the diamond sunray motif : diadem : Princess Laurentien with the bandeau à la : grêque : The Duchess of Parma with the diadem from : the Emerald Parure with pearl spikes instead : of emeralds : The four Van Vollenhoven brides with the : Ears-of-Wheat diadem : :
