Beatrix has also worn the Sapphire Tiara once as Crown Princess but I agree that it adds a certain importance to a piece when it is reserved for the monarch or spouse of the monarch. I didn't enjoy seeing Maxima wearing the Mellerio Ruby Tiara for that very reason. Princess Margriet has never worn any of the larger tiaras either. --Previous Message-- : There is already a division: the grand pearl : tiara, the grand sapphire tiara and the : Stuart parure are only worn by queens, while : the same goes for the ruby Mellerio tiara : with 1 exception of Maxima in Stockholm and : Beatrix as crown princess. : : The big advantage of the Dutch system is you : don't see the same women wearing the same : jewels every single time, like in Denmark or : the UK. : : --Previous Message-- : I don't like the variety or the fact that : tiara's are worn by several ladies in the : family.
