I can only find this photo of Queen Juliana with the 10 diamond stars. I Know there are a few colour photos of this event.
--Previous Message-- : This is all extremely confusing. If you take a : good look at pictures of Queen Wilhelmina : with the Begeer tiara with stars it seems : that those are NOT the stars of Maxima's : wedding tiara but those from Queen Emma's : Van Kempen tiara. Those on Maxima's tiara : are larger and more flat. The star brooch on : Maxima's sash in Trondheim and Copenhagen is : even larger - and now there seem to be three : of them! Could it be that the six : "large" star brooches given by the : Prince of Wied to Queen Emma in 1879 were : never mounted on the Begeer tiara but only : on Maxima's wedding tiara? Brus mentions : that the six Wied stars originally were : mounted on a simple frame for the stars : only. I have never seen pictures of this : tiara. : Queen Juliana wore 10 diamond stars on her : dress on the second day of Queen Elizabeth's : state visit to the Netherlands in March : 1958. I wonder of HQ pics of these would : help. : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you for your great post. I think it : must : be possible to create a nice star diadem : with the stars, maybe with a jeweller : creating a pair or three extra identical : ones to get a diadem with 7 star prongs. : : :
