I like the tiara as it is. In the Dutch collection a lot of pieces can be altered but this is simply what it is and I like it for that. I don't see how drops would add to the tiara.

If the second aquamarine set is still in Belgium, they could make even a bigger version. Like Lilian once did with the Stones of the diadem of the provinces.

Even though Aquamarines are my favourite type of stone I must say that I have never really liked the Dutch Aquamarine bandeau. It could of course be that it just photographs very badly and that in real life it might actually look stunning. But I find it rather "flat" and uninteresting. Previous Message A wonderfull bandeau!

If the base of the Stockholm tiara is still available that could be used for a lower bandeau type tiara as well. It would still require 5 to 7 pearls or stones to be mounted on top of it to form a tiara.

It's one of those tiara's who look better on short than on long hair contrary to most other pieces. The way Laurentien wore it for the abdication dinner of Beatrix was i think the best way i've seen it. Im looking forward to seeing it on Amalia but possibly even more on her sisters.

Indeed, the base on another frame would work also without the pearl Previous Message If the base of the Stockholm tiara is still available that could be used for a lower bandeau type tiara as well.

The delicate base of the Art Deco Dutch Aquamarine bandeau has both square cut Diamonds and Aquamarines so I don t see how alterations or additions would work. It's a very different / distinct design by a Dutch jeweller which makes it all the more special. It's also one of the most modern tiaras in the collection. Only the pearl button tiara was created later: in the 1960s. However the Aquamarine tiara is not suitable for all who want to wear it or who have worn it... the right placement on the head or in a hairdo is everything with this particular piece. For that reason it did not look good on Maxima on several occasions. I fully agree that Laurentien looked smashing wearing it in 2013. But all bandeaus look good on her. She should give the Diamond Bandeau a try! It would look stunning on her! Previous Message It's one of those tiara's who look better on short than on long hair contrary to most other pieces.
