New earrings? Queen Máxima in Vlissingen

Posted by Kongetro on August 28, 2024, 3:15 am

On the King and Queen of the Netherland's visit to Vlissingen this week the Queen was seen dressed in an outfit she has worn before. It was for instance part of her wardrobe during the 2022 State Visit to Austria, when she combined it with pieces from the Aquamarine collection: https://regalevents913271078.wordpress.com/blog-2/the-netherlands/willem-alexander/2022-dutch-state-visit-to-austria/2/ But on her visit together with King Willem-Alexander to Vlissingen she wore not the aquamarine earrings, but a different pair of earrings (moonstones?). Have these earrings been seen before or are they new? Kongetro To visit my website Regal Events use this link: https://regalevents913271078.wordpress.com/

Odd combination of jewels. However I love cabochon stones. Could be Aquamarine or even Sapphires. The earrings remind me of Queen Juliana's cabochon sapphire pendant earrings. They matched her other cabochon sapphire jewels like the pendant which was later reset in a diamond entourage and worn by Beatrix. I believe the earrings were inherited by Irene. Margarita has worn them at her second wedding. Current status unknown. https://www.bndestem.nl/overig/margarita-getrouwd~a2624b3b/102341555/ Previous Message On the King and Queen of the Netherland's visit to Vlissingen this week the Queen was seen dressed in an outfit she has worn before.

Chalcedony?

The gem looks a little more translucent than chalcedony, but a typical color. Previous Message she has worn these earrings since 2013 but not very often. 3 of 4 times according to my source Renske.

Speaking of coloured stones. Does anyone know what Queen Mary is wearing? It seems to be a pink stone? It looks like it is surrounded by diamonds.

Perhaps a large conch pearl? They’re very expensive! Previous Message Speaking of coloured stones. Does anyone know what Queen Mary is wearing? It seems to be a pink stone? It looks like it is surrounded by diamonds.

Thanks. Never heard of it but I just Googled it It could make sense. And it makes we wonder if this small brooch given to Princess Isabella by then Queen Margrethe has also a pink conch pearl pendant? Previous Message Perhaps a large conch pearl?

No wonder I had not seen them before then. And if they are that seldom worn I will probably have forgotten all about them next time I see the Queen wear them.
