The second sketch shows jewels that in my view clash in style.
But it's nice to see pictures of a young and glamorous Juliana. She is usually more seen as a rather dowdy woman. While she never was a great beauty she could look very grand if she wanted.

I stumbled upon two relatively unknown portraits of Princess Juliana by painter Jan van Delft. Apparently she posed for the painter in 1936 with different set of jewels. An image of Juliana with her Aquamarine Art Deco tiara in combination with the star shaped diamond necklace from Queen Wilhelmina was new to me.
