Lucien, I can see the hits right here. What I am interested in is an overview of all the jewels and especially the ones not be seen or hardly known, like for instance the new earrings of maxima. Would be nice to have a complete overview. I have seen the site you mentioned so I am aware of that.

An overview Berno?I thought/think John's site provides for that better then anything else except the real baubels.
Not to be seen or hardly known?What are you talking about?The every day wear at home?Not so special and not too much.
That will remain "not to be seen" or hardly known,unless you took up the bill for them..

Máxima's emerald ear jwellery you mean?They are on the site too,but beautifull as they are she can't walk in and out all day
every day wearring them,they fit to some occasions only ofcourse.

But what will be really interesting is the when will the Stuart Diamond appear.That parure hasn't been seen for over 30 years,
but it is there,the new Crown parure is collecting dust.

As John's site is on and off and moving,here's a better site to view the splendour of the Benelux Royal jewels. :(

Those were diamonds inherited by her daughter Louise and auctioned in 1907 (If I remember correctly) by Louise's creditors.

Pitty really that almost the entire Belgian Royal jewelry collection was either auctioned off or dispersed otherwise throughout the decades,especially thanks to Lilian Baels who went beyond her station to snatch and fetch anything with a carat or more.

Good article by Erik Schoonhoven,jewelry expert of the dutch Royal Family,on the Mellerio jewelry
that isn't all by Mellerio at all...René Brus already explained that in his book in the '90's but the "Mellerio mythe"
was stronger..Untill Erik visited the recent Mellerio exhibition on occasion of it's 400th anniversary in Paris and
came home with a new chapter on the jewelry plus a link to a fabulous & new book by Vincent Meylan:

Tutti Frutti bracelet worn by HM Queen Máxima today at the visit from the King and Queen of Belgium.
The bracelet and necklace were a present from her husband some years ago after he purchased the jewellery at Christies.
