King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were out and about in Amsterdam on Tuesday, preparing for a very sparkling upcoming event!

The royal couple attended a seminar, “Indonesia and the Netherlands: A Joint Future,” ahead of the upcoming Indonesian state visit. That visit will take place during the second week of March.

Queen Maxima chose earth tones for Tuesday’s seminar, wearing rich shades of red, brown, and orange.

She wore a familiar pair of earrings with briolette drops. These are likely either citrines or smoky topaz, and they’ve been in Maxima’s collection for quite a long time. You can read more about them here!

She also wore her gold bracelet, set with cabochon gemstones and engraved with the names of her husband and children.

The most interesting part of her jewelry, for my money, is the enormous cocktail ring she wore on her right hand.

Here’s a better look. The ring appears to be designed to mimic a floral blossom, perhaps a sunflower, with a cluster of orange gems surrounding a light yellow-green stone.

Here’s one more look at the stunning ring.

And, just for fun, here’s a view of the back of her unusual feathered hat. Only Maxima could pull off something like this!
