Let us not set our hopes too high. I guess both the dinner at the Rijksmuseum and the event in the Muziekgebouw (dinner? or more probably fingerfood?) will be black tie events.
As for the inauguration ceremony, I think something new will be created. This would be in line with Maxima's "newly created" wedding tiara, and also with Queen Juliana's bejeweled cap. My guess is the thickstone necklace remounted as a tiara on the base of a rivière of small diamonds. In addition, the Stuart diamond could be worn as a single brooch hanging from the small bow Queen Beatrix used to wear so often with Emma's sapphire and diamond brooch.
An alternative could be pearls. Pearls are always right!
