Indeed, I can imagine Queen Máxima of the Netherlands ordering a re-assemblage of the large bracelet, to be worn with her grandest pieces, for an example for a State Visit to the United Kingdom, Luxembourg or Sweden. Máxima does not seem the person to let herself overpowered by other royal ladies when her own cassettes contain more than enough "stuff" to glanz und gloria.
This also counts for the large corsage of the Mellerio Ruby Parure, the huge bracelets of the Mellerio Sapphire Parure, the collier of the Peacock Parure, the collier of the Wedding Gift Parure, the items from the Stuart Parure, etc.
The Prince of Orange is also very different than his late father. Prince Claus had a dislike for grand pageantry, for military ceremonial, etc. Prince Willem-Alexander seem more like his grandmothr Queen Juliana: down to earth and close to people but grand when needed. It also looks like he bursts with pride when he makes a grande entrée with his beautiful and stunningly bejewelled wife. I think the prospects are nice.
