Re: Stuart Tiara and the rest - The Stuart diamond
I agree John R, that beautiful ever-so-slightly tinted stone is incredible, I hope we get to see it as a pendant or brooch if that’s even possible. How fitting that the queen consort of several Caribbean nations has a sparkling jewel the color of the gentle waters that wash the Antilles. I love that it goes back to Mary II, because I don’t think there are many Stuart pieces in circulation among even the Windsor collection, coronation regalia aside. Previous Message Honestly I don't think Maxima takes jewel preferences of her guests into serious consideration. The dress was of course made to go with the colour of the Stuart diamond. I can't emphasise this enough but that diamond is just stunning. People are always drooling over the Cullinans in the UK but this piece is way more spectacular because of its history and the fact that it has such a unique blue-greenish colour. 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.
