If Archduchess Marie-Astrid attends the dinner we might see the peacock emerald necklace-tiara again. That was made from stones belonging to Queen Astrid and her princess Ingeborg.
If Queen Paola loans her art deco bandeau we could even have a jewel from Queen Elisabeth there.
If princess Sybilla attends we might see the Spanish aquamarines again.

I hope to see, I know there are very few, historic heirlooms with connection to Queen Astrid/Queen Elisabeth.

I think much will depend on what Stephanie will wear as the new Grand Duchess.
If she goes for the biggest tiara in the collection Maxima and Mathilde can go for their larger pieces as well. I hope Stephanie will not opt for the cabochon emerald tiara of Grand duchess Charlotte. Unless she has found a hairstyle and a way to wear it that flatters her. The one time she did wear it was not a success and the tiara also never looked good on Maria Teresa.
Ideally:
Stephanie the grand Russian diamond tiara
Maria Teresa the Belgian scroll tiara (it seems to be her favorite and it looks good on her)
Mathilde the tiara of the provinces in the larger setting
Elisabeth in her mother's laurel tiara
Maxima in a larger version of the Stuart or the Sapphire tiara
Amalia in Queen Emma's diamond tiara with the 5 stars
That would leave the other Luxembourg ladies Princesses Claire, Alexandra, Marie-Astrid, Margaretha and Sybilla for many of the smaller pieces of the Luxembourg collection.
It's probably going to be less grand.
Possibly Mathilde in her own laurel tiara once more
Elisabeth in the loaned Art deco Bandeau of her grandmother Paola
Maxima in the ears of wheat and Amalia in the bandeau a la Grecque.
Probably:
Stephanie in the laurel tiara of Adelaide Marie
Maria Teresa in the Belgian scroll tiara Mathilde lower version of the Provinces tiara
Elisabeth in the Wolffers necklace/tiara Maxima in the rose cut bandeau
Amalia in the small sapphire tiara Previous Message
The belgian scroll tiara has been a firm favorite of Maria Teresa who has only worn this one the last years.
So i wonder if she is willing to part with it or keeps the use of it.
As for the new Grand Duchess. Difficult to say. perhaps the Choker tiara or the Viney leafes tiara Previous Message
I wonder if Stephanie will wear the massive Braganza tiara that seems to be reserved for the grand duchess alone.
I bet sister Margrethe will be there --wouldn't she wear a tiara? And Marie-Astrid?
