Can we please refer to the tiara as the House Diamond Tiara? The Stuart can be mounted on but it does not define the tiara which is set full of old house diamonds and can be worn in many different settings. Wilhelmina was the first to name the hart / drop shaped diamond the ' Stuart' but to my knowledge the tiara created in 1897 never went by that name until in recent years it was given that name by some royal jewel watchers.
Queen Letizia rarely wears necklaces with tiara's that may be why Maxima decided not to wear one. The three princesses all wear a necklace with their tiara. Amalia the one from the Peacock parure, Beatrix and Margriet both opted for a diamond riviere. As far as i can tell the larger version of Queen Wilhelmina's birthday present from her father is not one of them.

Pity Maxima did not opt for a necklace. The house diamond necklace might have been too much but the large diamond Rivière would have completed the fabulous look.

Tonight Queen Maxima is wearing the Stuart tiara in the full setting. Queen Letizia opted for Queen Maria Christina's diamond and pearl loop tiara. Princess Beatrix is in the diamond rose cut bandeau and the Princess of Orange in the Peacock parure (tiara and necklace). Princess Margriet opted for the bandeau a la Grecque.
I hope we'll see the following jewels tonight
Queen Letizia in the Fleur-de-Lys tiara of Queen Era
Queen Maxima in the full Stuart tiara
Princess Beatrix in the ornate pearl tiara
Princess Margriet in the ruby Peacock parure
Princess of Orange in the Aquamarine set
Im sticking to the aquamarines for Amalia as it was the tiara her mother wore for her first state visit. Maxima was only the fiancee of the Prince of Orange when she attended the incoming visit of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia and wore the aquamarines with the order of Isabel the Catholic. So im guessing her daughter might copy that.
Queen Maxima was wearing the Diamond Moth Brooch from the Family collection. Queen Emma had a small collection of diamond insect brooches and more were added later.
