Mathilde has been buying a few. smaller pieces but so far only the tiara for the Duchess of Brabant. With her limited pieces I think she and Philippe will buy three other tiaras for their younger daughter and two daughters-in-law.
It's a shame they did not buy the Spanish wedding gift tiara and the aquamarine pieces of queen Fabiola or the pearl Beauharnais tiara and the turquoise Demi parure when Maria Gabriella of Savoy put those up for auction.
The Belgians could also invest in an amethysts to go with the Empire tiara. Replace the nine diamonds with nine amethysts and add earrings, a necklace, a brooch, bracelet(s) and a ring and they would have an amazing set.
It seems the Royal couple do not want to do so or have not inherited a major part of King Boudewijn's fortune. In that case they simply might not be able to buy much. Previous Message
I hope that the artdeco bandeau Will go to the duchess of Brabant once.

True, but we can’t expect anything else. At least all Mathilde’s tiaras are adaptable as necklaces as well, for a jewel-poor queen it gives her some options at least. I suppose Queen Paola will never release the Art Deco bandeau of Queen Elisabeth to her daughter in law, and her appearance in it during her wedding will be her last and only. Previous Message
its so boring... i'm glad we have Queen Maxima ( okay okay she has a lot more jewelry to play with) Previous Message
Again!
I do not like the Quuens earrings in this set up either.
There is a missmatch between tiara/brooch and earrings is terms of design, I think. Previous Message

It’s nice to see the laurel leaf tiara again after a while. Previous Message
HM Queen Mathilde is wearing her Laurel Leaf Tiara wich was a present from the Belgian aristocrats in 1999 on occasion of the wedding with the then Duke of Brabant.
