The Russian Devant de Corsage comes to mind, heirloom from Empress Maria Feodorovna Romanov, grandmother of both King Willem III and his wife Queen Sophie.
Queen Maxima has worn the simple version as a brooch during the State Visit of the first President Poetin several years ago.
The Ears of Wheat are probably of Russian origin as well: they belonged to Catharina Pavlovna Romanov, Queen Sophie's mother.
The much discussed Sapphire tiara supposedly contains an heirloom (brooch)from Anna Pavlovna Romanov and the devant de corsage holds a huge sapphire which is said to have come from the same.
Furthermore we have theDiamond and Sapphire Bow that was made for the wife of Prince Hendrik which also contains sapphires from Queen Anna Pavlovna Romanov.
