Its a stunning piece I think. First worn by Wilhelmina with the central square emerald and diamond cluster you see in the necklace. It also had a pearl pendant! From the 1980's onwards Beatrix wore it with a roundish sapphire and diamond cluster. The brooch in this sapphire setting has also be worn with a sapphire and diamond pendant taken from another brooch.
There is no information about that brooch. She has worn it before in 2007 (Norway), also princess Irene has worn it. For the fist thime this brooch was seen on Queen Wilhelmina (1938).
Do you know something about the brooch on her waist? I don't think I've seen it before.

It's the same combination of green dress with the emerald set she wore in Ireland and in Portugal.
Great dress but i would have preferred to see it with another set of jewels this time around.

In a short while Willem-Alexander and Maxima will attend a banquet on the first night of their state visit to Slovakia.
Maixma tends to wear tiara's for such events.
She wore diamonds and sapphires for the arriving/welcoming ceremony.
What will she wear tonight?
I'd love to see her opt for either the bandeau a la Grecque or the ears of wheat tiara's as she's never worn either.
The diamond fringe tiara would be a decent alternative choice i guess.
