No one wears the rose-cut diamond bandeau so well as Princess Maxima either. She rarely 'misfires' in my opinion, always looks fabulous.
I'm not a huge Mellerio ruby tiara fan myself. In fact, many jewels of that prestigious jewel house rank lower on my list of favorites. Many of the pieces seem a little complicated in appearance, and very matchy-matchy.
