The Dutch royal vaults are teeming with spectacular jewels, but perhaps one of the grandest pieces of all is the nineteenth-century diamond and sapphire tiara made for Queen Emma.
The Dutch Sapphire Parure Tiara
The Pearl Poire Tiara
Denmark is perhaps one of the most tiara-rich countries in Europe, but even among their large cache of sparklers, a few tiaras stand out as particularly historically important. One of these, the Pearl Poiré Tiara, highlights the maternal heritage of the country’s monarch.
The Dutch Star Tiara
The year is 2002, and Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti is preparing to marry the heir to the Dutch throne. If you’re a royal bride, you can play the wedding tiara game a few ways: you can opt for a safe choice (like the Duchess of Cambridge), you can wear an heirloom tiara (like Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden), you can go for no tiara at all (never something I’d personally advise), or you can go big.
Máxima, being Máxima, went for major sparkle.
