Glittering Gardenia Earrings for Queen Maxima in Zeewolde

Spring has sprung in the Netherlands, and Queen Máxima brought out a pair of gleaming floral earrings for a recent visit with scouts in Zeewolde.

Queen Máxima headed to Zeewolde last Wednesday for a visit to the headquarters of Scouting Netherlands. There, she spoke with scouts and scouting volunteers, learning about their mission and watching climbing and building demonstrations.

Máxima opted for neutrals for the occasion, wearing a pair of olive green trousers and a white bow blouse paired with a wool-blend knit vest (from Massimo Dutti, per UFO No More). Later, she added color to the ensemble with a Scouting Netherlands scarf.

Her jewelry accessories added to the fun as well. The stars of the show, naturally, were her statement earrings, which feature gardenia flower studs and pendants.

The earrings are from the Italian brand Buccellati. The flowers are made of sterling silver, with diamonds set in the yellow-gold plated center of each flower. Máxima has had them in her collection for the better part of a decade.

Máxima also wore her usual watch, stacked with a gold heart bracelet, and rings on both hands. Her orange diamond engagement ring was stacked with her wedding band on her left hand.

And on her right hand, she wore a cocktail ring from Chanel. The ring is made of yellow gold and set with a large citrine surrounded by peridot and iolite stones.
