Dutch Diamond Bandeau Tiara


This bandeau, composed of a collection of large diamonds which were given by the nation to Queen Emma in 1879, was made in the 1930s.
 


 

Antique Pearl Tiara

This tiara was made for Queen Wilhelmina around the turn of the twentieth century, but the large pearls which sit on the tiara's spikes actually date from the 1600s. The tiara can be worn either in its full setting or in a smaller setting without the pearls.
