As the honorary patron of MindUS, an organization that develops programs to support the mental health of young people, Queen Maxima was on hand for the launch of Checkers, an online tool where adults can learn about ways to support young people’s mental health.

Maxima wore a black and gray ensemble for the event. When she took off her black jacket, she revealed a sparkling surprise: a pair of sparkling spider brooches.

The crystal brooches have been in Maxima’s jewelry box for almost a decade. They were made by Celedonio, a jewelry firm from Maxima’s native Argentina. Each piece is completely handmade.

For the Checkers launch, Maxima paired the spider brooches with large crystal beaded hoop earrings. She’s paired the same earrings with the brooches on past occasions, too.

Maxima also wore rings on both hands and bracelets on both wrists. Here, on her right hand, you’ll spot her diamond and black pearl ring, worn with her diamond family initial bracelet.
