Woulde be nice if Queen Máxima would wear the Stuart diamond in other ways, perhaps as brooch or as pendant on a diamond collet necklace
The brooch is fantastic. Wish Maxima would wear it on a plain dress or jacket in such a way that the brooch could get its due prominance.Yesterday the Queen was at the King WIllem I awards.
Apart from the Bow brooch with the pink diamond of Queen Catherine Pavlovna of Württemberg she was also wearing another 'new' ring.
The big center diamond comes from the dismantled bracelet of the East Indies, It was located in the central part, flanked by the Garuda wings. The ring was only worn once before, by Pss Beatrix in 2017.
Deze 'nieuwe' ring droeg Máxima gisteren voor het eerst - Modekoningin Máxima
Tijdens de uitreiking van de Koning Willem l Prijzen droeg Máxima niet zomaar wat glimmers…. Mijn oog viel allereerst op de grote, imposante strikbroche op haar schouder. Het gaat om een juweel met roze diamanten, dat door de jaren heen van alles heeft meegemaakt. Via koningin Sophie, de eerste...www.modekoninginmaxima.nl
Did she copied the Japanese tradition of twinning tiara and necklace?The tiara worn as a necklace looks terrible

This is not a tiara worn as a necklace, the necklace is part of the parure.That was my first thought when I saw the photo. The tiara as a necklace does look terrible. Some things can be converted and look good. This is not one of them.
The tiara on her head looked fabulous though. I wish she'd just worn that.
Not one of Max's best looks.How exiting to see the two pieces together. The dress seems too casual for it though. The upper part is so loose it seems to be a pyama. As a result the jewels are wearing Máxima instead of the other way around, which is rare / a first for HM. Nice to see the tiara on the Queen again though.

The neckline of the dress is not the best one to display the necklace at its best. IMO, she should have worn a dress with a deep neck (round, V-neck or square), allowing the necklace to shine. Also, perhaps she should have had the necklace shortened a bit, so it fit better.
But it makes me remember the Japanese imperial ladies...No, this necklace was created at the same time as the tiara, in 1897.
Personally, I think the necklace is just fine, and in keeping with the era it was made in. The issue, IMO, is the neckline of the dress. The dress just does not give the necklace the space it needs.In that case it was a REALLY poorly constructed necklace imo. It looks like a badly converted tiara. And I really dislike the style of it. I generally think it’s difficult to mess up a gem encrusted necklace, but here it is.
The neckline of the dress didn’t work well for this necklace either. Agreed.
