In the online photo archive of the city of Leewarden I stumbled on this remarkable image of a stunning Diamond Aigrette or Head Ornament by jeweller H. Adema that was offered to Queen Wilhelmina on the occassion of her visit to Leeuwarden in 1892. Queen Wilhelmina was only 12 years old at the time. Current whereabouts is unknown but I guess in the Royal vaults.
