Our August birthday tiara tributes continue today with a special sparkling outing from Princess Irene, aunt of the King of the Netherlands, during an important family anniversary gala in Amsterdam.

It’s hard to believe it, but 2016 was a full decade ago, and our Tiara Time Machine has officially docked there for the day. Let’s chat about one of Queen Máxima’s glamorous 2016 tiara appearances, which took place during a state visit to New Zealand.

While Europe’s royals are off enjoying their August holidays, we’re going to be spending this week aboard our Tiara Time Machine, enjoying bejeweled moments from the last fifty years. Today, we’re starting off with a glamorous dinner held in 1976 in Amsterdam, featuring tiaras worn by the Queens of the Netherlands and Sweden.

On Friday, Queen Máxima headed to Amsterdam’s largest city park for a special Pride celebration, wearing white and gold pearls for the occasion.

July is the month for celebrating the remarkable ruby, and I’ve decided to declare this the official Ruby Tiara Celebration Week of the summer here at TCJ. We’ll be looking at some fabulous recent ruby tiara appearances from the past few years over the next five days, starting off with a closer look at a moment from just a few weeks ago: the Princess of Orange wearing Queen Emma’s rubies during the Japanese state visit to the Netherlands.
