--Previous Message-- : Thank you Maridje. : : Queen Maxima never ceases to engage our : attention with her use of jewels whether : they be grand royal jewels, a new way of : wearing such jewels or her use of costume : jewels. : : It will be interesting to see what her : jewels will be tomorrow when the King and : Queen visit Brisbane. I suspect that there : may not be any grand jewels (as worn for the : concert in Sydney) as Brisbane is seen as a : backwater by many. On the other hand there : is a significant Dutch community in the : city, and so the Queen may decide to wear : some serious jewels in their honour. As the : city is full of Jacaranda trees which are : now blooming we may see something in the : purple/blue range or even more of HM's : orange and yellow gemstones as the Silky Oak : trees with their golden flowers are also in : flower. : : It will be interesting to see the Queen's : choice. :
