Speaking of Queen Wilhelmina's wedding gift tiara, is it known what happened to the central diamond of the tiara? I've seen it labelled as the Queen Wilhelmina diamond.
It must have been quite a substantial stone.
Maxima has also worn the smaller brooch of the Mellerio ruby set on this trip.
Maxima was wearing some serious (day wear) jewels today on Sint Maarten: A pair of figure 8 diamond and sapphire pendant earrings (stones come from Queen Wilhelmina's wedding gift tiara), the round diamond and sapphire brooch (exact provenance unknown but already worn by Queen Wilhelmina in the 1930s) and a (NEW?) ring with a huge cushion shaped sapphire set in small diamonds. Perhaps the sapphire was taken from the base of the Wedding Gift tiara? The diamond base had one cushion shaped sapphire in the center.
