Jade comes in many shades and grades. Jade would make sense as it is highly appreciated in South East Asia. My main 'concern' here is the weight of that bracelet if these are indeed all jade beads.... --Previous Message-- : Thank you so much Arthur. You have given me a : lot to think about. : : Yes, I agree, the gemstone might be jade; : however, I do wonder about the bracelet, : because there are so many beads and it is : such a large bracelet. If it were jade (no : matter what the numerous colours, -- and : shades within those diverse colour ranges), : it would be a major jewel, even if the beads : were not the best quality jade, -- but that : comment probably simply highlights my lack : of knowledge. : : If the earrings, which have relatively large : stones, were jade, I would expect that, : because of the value of good jade, some : diamonds would have been used as studs or : surrounding the gems - but perhaps, I am : again showing my ignorance. : : Many thanks for the great photos. They are : the best I have seen of these jewels. : : --Previous Message-- : Chrysoprase could be a possibility. I : wondered : if it could be jade (jade can have several : shades of green). : : Here are more pictures: : : : : : : : : The Queen's dress is by fashion designer : Matthijs van Bergen. : : The website "New My Royals & : Hollywood Fashion" attributes the : earrings and bracelet to Maison Van Belle, : but their pictures does not seem to match : with Queen Maxima's jewels: : : : http://www.newmyroyals.com/2014/11/king-willem-and-queen-maxima-state.html : : : : Another website, Royalista.com, writes that : the earrings are by Dutch jewellery brand : Miccy's: : : : http://royalista.com/52489/the-dutch-royals-continue-their-sensational-tour-of-asia/ : : But the link they provide to Miccy's website : leads to a pair of turquoise earrings, which : do not seem to match with Queen Maxima's : earrings: : : : http://www.miccys.nl/earrings/591-turquoise-drops-with-flowers.html : : : : : : :
