There has also often been said that the Tiara is to heavy to wear for someone with regular headaches and migraines like Beatrix. Well there ís one strange side to the story that the Tiara might be to heavy: why do they never wear the necklace then? Since 1972 not only the Tiara hasn't been out of the vaults but also: the necklace was never seen anymore... Juliana often wore the Crownparure-Necklace together with the bandeau of the 23 big diamonds. Which made for a very tasteful appearance. I think maybe they decided on these pieces that they were no longer practical and untill they are to be made into something else they are just stored. The big Indonesian bracelet that was worn by Juliana always together with the Crown-Parure already (after 1980) was destroyed (well made into several other items I should say). Now sometimes you see Maxima wear a few diamond bracelets together on one arm.... Which ofcourse is a shame while several bracelets together can never give this impression that the big bracelet gave...silly realy! The other big bracelets the family owned (with saphires) are also in the process of being dismantled. We've already seen Maxima wear a broche that was taken from one of these bracelets, as if there weren't saphire broches enough in the collection...silly again! Same with the saphire necklace; I do love it as a tiara, but I regret the fact that they now no longer have a reasonable saphire necklace left... So everything changes in this collection, as we all know the necklace and tiara of the 1901-national weddinggift was also destroyed (around 1963). I realy don't think we will ever see the Stuart-Parure back, it was not in any way more important in design then let's say the former Crownparure, which in 1897 also was demolished to make the new (Stuart-)Crownparure. Maybe (and I suspect that) we will be surprized with a totaly new designed parure, perfectly fitted for the new Queen, with all the main stones in it from the Stuart-Parure but in a more wearable form and to a more subtle taste. I would find that a great loss, most of all because of the beautiful design of the necklace that is not to be compared with any other necklace in any other royal family. It truly would be a big shame if they would have that necklace broken up. I would also be sorry for breaking up the Stuart-Tiara but I would understand that better...
