Queen Maxima of the Netherland’s Tiara Collection: Dutch Sapphires, Glittering Emeralds and Dazzling, Historic Jewels
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is widely known for her vibrant, whimsical style. The Dutch royal often fashions looks by Belgian brand Natan, takes inspiration from florals and accessorizes with fanciful hats. Her extensive tiara collection, however, is one element of Queen Maxima’s royal wardrobe that often goes overlooked.

The Stuart Tiara
The Stuart Tiara is best known for its prominent display of the Stuart Diamond, also known as the Holland Diamond. The dramatic tiara was made in the late 19th century. Queen Maxima famously wore this tiara to a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in October 2018.
The Ruby Peacock Tiara
The Ruby Peacock tiara might also be one of Queen Maxima’s most extravagant pieces. The tiara features a removable piece at the center, which resembles a peacock’s tail. Queen Maxima opted to wear the tiara with a monochrome look in November 2018 during a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. She coordinated her tiara with her ruby dress and a diamond and ruby brooch.
The Tiara From the Dutch Emerald Parure
Queen Maxima has never been averse to playing with color within her royal wardrobe selection. The Dutch royal perfectly matched her ensemble for a dinner at the Loo Royal Palace in June 2014 to the Tiara From the Dutch Emerald Parure, for which she fashioned a green dress and coordinated earrings and necklace. This tiara features a versatile element with removable pieces.
The Dutch Aquamarine Parure Tiara
Along with rubies, emeralds and diamonds, Queen Maxima’s tiara collection also includes the Dutch Aquamarine Parure Tiara. Created in a type of art-deco design, the tiara features diamond baguettes and aquamarine briolettes. Queen Maxima wore the tiara with coordinated earrings and necklace to the Grand Duke of Luxemburg’s state visit in April 2006.
