Thank you John R. Very well spotted! Blurry as the picture may be, it appears to be a 10 pointed star. Thus making it one of the stars from the other set of 5 diamond stars and the ones used for princess Máxima's wedding tiara.
It still feels odd, that a great admirer of jewelry like queen Juliana has never worn at least one of the 12 pointed diamond stars now seen on princess Máxima. For me the mystery remains...
