Jewels that tell a story

But it wasn't just the gown that caught the eye. Queen Máxima's choice of jewels - from the diamond drop earrings to the Stuart Tiara - added layers of history and glamour to her ensemble. These weren't just accessories; they were narrators of the past, with the tiara dating back to 17th-century monarchs King William III and Queen Mary of England. Her eyes sparkling as brightly as the teardrop-shaped diamond on her diadem.
