I agree the Peacock parure should be on display next week. But then please with the necklace setting without the inner band.

Yes, to see Queen Maxima in the House Diamond set (including the Stuart Diamond in the tiara) would be ideal for this Imperial visit.
Instead of the Mellerio Ruby set I would prefer to see the Peacock tiara again actually. With the name and design it feels more "exotic" or "Asian" (although I of course know that peacocks are not native to Japan). Previous Message
Maxima in the Mellerio set might be an option but I'd love to see her in the House diamonds. The princess of Orange might use the mellerio set in that case.
Princess Beatrix is either using the rose cut bandeau or possibly the antique pearl or Emma's diamond tiara.
The bandeau a la Grecque is most likely an option for Margriet or Laurentien.
For Ariane we might see her copy her sister and use their mother's wedding tiara as her first one. Previous Message
With the flag of Japan being red and white and the Imperial standard being red and gold I don't think you are far fetched when you suggest Diamond and Ruby tiaras in addition to maybe Diamonds and Pearls. Luckily the Dutch collection has a lot of tiaras to chose from and I am so excited of the prospect of seeing 7 tiaras at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam on the Imperial Couple's State Visit to the Netherlands! It would be amazing if the Greek bandeau would make an appearance again!!
