The Princess of Orange, the heir to the throne of the Netherlands, christened a ship this weekend while gleaming in a favorite pair of golden earrings.

The Princess of Orange arrived in the harbor town of Vlissingen on Saturday for the christening of a new combat support ship, Den Helder. The ship, which was made by Damen Naval, will be the new supply ship for the Royal Netherlands Navy. Per the Dutch royal website, the new ship “will supply naval vessels at sea worldwide with fuel, ammunition, water, food and spare parts.”
Princess Amalia christened the ship with the words “I baptize you Den Helder and I wish you and your crew a safe voyage.” Afterward, she was given a tour of the ship and met with some of its personnel, as well as those who were involved in its construction.

For the occasion, Amalia wore an ensemble in shades of pink, brown, and gold. ModeKoninginMaxima tells us that the pink trouser suit and camel-colored coat both come from the brand Max Mara.

Amalia accessorized with a braided straw headpiece and a pair of familiar golden earrings from her jewelry box. UFO No More shares that the earrings come from LOTT. gioielli, a Dutch brand that takes inspiration from traditional Italian design. These are the brand’s medium-sized Classic Circle Earrings, which are made of sterling silver (and, presumably, then plated or treated with another material to produce the golden color). They retail on the company’s website for €140.

This is the second time that we’ve seen Amalia wear the earrings in public. In September, she wore them with a medieval-inspired dress for Prinsjesdag, the annual opening of the nation’s parliament.

She also added other gold-toned accessories for the Prinsjesdag appearance, coordinating the earrings with a golden headband, gold bracelets and rings, and a golden clutch bag and shoes.

Here’s one more look at Amalia wearing the earrings for the ship’s christening in Vlissingen. These seem right on trend for a 21-year-old princess—and the fact that she’s comfortable wearing statement-making jewelry certainly bodes well for the future. She is Queen Máxima’s daughter, after all!
