I am not sure Queen Máxima / Princess Máxima accepts jewelry gifts from Arab rulers or others because such gifts are placed in the Foundation Official Gifts of the House Orange-Nassau 2007, for gifts to (spouses of) descendants of Queen Wilhelmina, while it -logically- is better placed in the Foundation Crown Properties of the House Orange-Nassau 1968. A gift by an Arab ruler in the framework of an official visit means that the item can never become 'private'. Unless it was given in a situation not "in the exercise of the royal function". There is a tendence to attribute each new jewel of the Queen to Arab rulers, but most likely it simply are additions purchased by the Oranges themselves.
