--Previous Message-- : Thank you for these close up photos Maridje. : : I am intrigued by 2 things. : : First, does anyone know if the Empress of : Japan's necklace has a single large diamond : as the pendant? : : Secondly, what diamond studs has Queen : Maxima used with the pearl drop earrings? I : am assuming that they are part of the jewels : in the Dutch Royal family's foundation. : : --Previous Message-- : There are some earrings in the Dutch collection, that were Queen Wilhelmina`s made in Amsterdam about 1889 & a present from her father, King William III. Theearrings consist of large diamond studs from which are suspended a smaller round diamond, then a large pear-shaped diamond drop pendant. I was wondering if they could be these earrings with pearl drops instead of the pear-shaped diamonds? : : : : : : : : :
