I wonder of Maxima has been waiting to get her big gun out for the big guns event for years. She may have deemed it the only state visit she could premier such a piece.
It's interesting that DoC wore Alexandra's wedding gift necklace. She seems to be having more and more "Queen" related pieces being lent to her. I do always wonder if she gets a pool to chose from. Even though as I've said before if the Queen offers to lend you something you don't respond with what do you have in sapphires.
Shame there is no Guildhall event as it would have been fascinating to see what would have come out for that.
So great !!!! It was a great pleasure to see the photos this night The vault is opened in Great Britain and in Netherlands !

What a feast coming out of the UK at present. So many jewels to discuss! The Stuart! The large brooch! The Cullinans and Queen Alexandra's necklace! Where to start?
Queen Maxima is in the Stuart Tiara (with the diamond for the first time since 1972), HERE at the Dutch State Banquet at Buckingham Palace tonight! The Queen wore her Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara with the Cullinan 3 and 4!
