Thank you Marianne, I never get tired of those beautiful emeralds and the buterfly brooch is just stunning. I don't know about the rest of you, but I Love how Queen Maxima is not afraid of wearing big eyecatching jewels for almost all events she atends. She clearly is a selfconfident lady who adores wearing jewels, and thats wonderful, giving the fact she has acess to a fabulous collection! I'm crossing my fingers for a surprise one of these days...(the Stuart set, the Van Kempen ).
