December’s tiara-palooza continued today with a spectacular state banquet in the Netherlands, featuring Princess Amalia’s debut in diamonds that belonged to generations of her royal ancestors.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands dazzled in enormous diamonds last week in Suriname, but before she headed home, she gave us one more glittering gala jewelry moment, this time featuring gorgeous green emeralds.

There are two bejeweled state visits happening this week: the German state visit to Britain, which starts on Wednesday, and the Dutch state visit to Suriname, which began on Monday. Here’s a closer look at the jewels worn by Queen Máxima during the first day of Monday’s state visit program in Paramaribo.
