With her Grecian-inspired white evening gown, Máxima piled on diamonds and pearls from the family collection. The spotlight piece of the ensemble was the Antique Pearl Tiara, which features pear-shaped pearl toppers set on a diamond floral festoon base. The tiara was made in 1900, but the pearls are centuries older.

With the tiara, Máxima wore diamond button earrings with pear-shaped pearl drops, plus a diamond bracelet and a pearl and diamond ring. On her gown, she also pinned another important family jewel: the Dutch Diamond and Pearl Devant de Corsage Ornament. The large nineteenth-century brooch was originally worn by Queen Sophie of the Netherlands, the first wife of King Willem III. It features several rare pink diamonds in its design.
