She reached for Queen Wilhelmina’s delicate diamond hair comb to nestle in her hair, pairing it with diamond chandelier earrings from her own personal collection.

Maxima also wore a pair of important bracelets from the royal vaults. The two diamond and platinum bracelets were made in the 1990s from a single, larger bracelet that was given to Queen Juliana as a wedding gift in 1937 by the people of the Dutch East Indies.
