    Lovely set made with Indonesian diamonds. A bit over-bejewelled perhaps for the ocassion but all is forgiven in a flash or sparkle

    The set was created from a gold tiara which was given by the Sultan of Kutai (from Borneo/Kalimantan) to Queen Wilhelmina in 1898 on the ocassion of her investiture as Queen.
