On Friday, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands visited a new concert hall in Arnhem, and she brought some creepy-crawly bejeweled friends along with her.

Maxima wore a trio of beetle brooches on the jacket of her houndstooth suit. (Sidenote: the pictures from this day are so great. I love the kid in the front bracing for the gong!)

Maxima paired them with bold earrings. These feature a golden stud and a faceted, briolette-style red drop.
