Queen Wilhelmina is wearing the tiara with the large peacock centre part. Prss Irene has allways worn the tiara with the small centrepart. I noticed the necklace can be worn in at least 5 different ways. - Queen Juliana wore the complete necklace at her inauguration. - Prss Irene wore the small riviere with diamonds and ruby's with a ruby pendant. - Prss Irene wore the small riviere with diamonds and ruby's with the peacock centre part. - Prss Irene wore the neclace without the rivere and peacock centre part. - Prss Irene wore the neclace without the rivere. - And last I assume that the riviere can be worn without any attachements. Something I haven't noticed before That this set is varsitile.
So we are still missing the big peacock centre part and the necklace.
I hope the missing pieces are still in the Royal Faults and that they will pop up.
