    : Queen Maxima baptised the Koningsdam a
    : cruiseship of Holland America Line today.
    : She wore two necklaces with large baroque
    : pearls. One with greyish pearls and blue
    : beads and what appears to be a new necklace
    : consisting of large white pearls and
    : interspaced by black diamond (?) encrusted
    : beads.
    :
    : Have we seen the last necklace before? I
    : once read that, if a lady baptises a ship it
    : is a custom to give her a piece of
    : jewellery. Does anybody know if this is true
    : and might both necklaces have been gifts by
    : HAL to HM? She baptised a HAL ship in 2010
    : so the necklace with the greyish pearls
    : could have been a previous gift. Just my
    : speculation.
    :
    : Any thoughts?
