The Duchess of Feria is wearing a beautiful tiara that was borrowed to her by her husband's grandmother, the Duchess of Medinacelli. There are still a few tiaras with this particular design among the ladies of the spanish nobility, this used to be a very popular tiara design. The most famous of these tiaras is of course the one that was presented to Queen Fabiola (née de Mora y Aragón) as a wedding gift by the spanish state. Queen Fabiola's own mother had a similar design tiara also.
I'm sure that the Dutch royals have enough loose pearls and diamonds to recreate Queen Sophie's tiara original design, perhaps some day in the future the criative and jewelry lover Queen Máxima will add some diferent elements to the diamond base
