When it comes to the royal family, people always think of the British royal family with deep pockets and piles of jewels. In Europe, besides it, there are Norwegian royal families, Spanish royal families, Belgian royal families and so on. Although they are not as rich as the British royal family, one of them can openly challenge the British royal family. It is the royal family of the Netherlands, ruled by the Orange Nassau family (two families, which will be mentioned later), and has a history of hundreds of years since the Middle Ages. Due to the superior geographical conditions of the country, it is close to the North Sea and has a flat terrain. The business here is particularly developed. The royal family that ruled it also took the lead in developing the economy in past dynasties. Take the current King william alexander as an example. He is usually paid by the royal family and goes to KLM to work when he is free. According to his own disclosure, he has been secretly flying for more than 20 years! How rich is a king who works so hard? 950 million euros plus more than 500 pieces of land ... In his country, he can only rank 10 in the rich list ~ Of course, some media said that these are just his public property, but no one knows how many. After all, I am really a super low-key person. Even when I attended the coronation ceremony, I didn't wear a crown and held a giant diamond scepter. I just took a picture and made an oath. However, we can still see from the jewelry of his wife, Queen Maksima Zoregita, that the Dutch royal family is actually a super rich man. The most expensive crown in the Netherlands, the jewelry collection of the Dutch royal family, may be second only to the British royal family in the European royal jewelry collection. And in terms of exquisiteness, she has never lost ~ A few days ago, when Queen Maksima attended the Royal Jockey Club, she and the Queen of England took a carriage together, and they looked at the jewels they were wearing well ~ Queen Maksima was young and strong, wearing a pair of huge diamond earrings that pulled her ears out of shape, and she kept smiling with the Queen of England with a straight face. In contrast, the Queen of England is too reserved and only wears a pair of small earrings. When communicating with Queen Maksima, there has been no eye contact. Interestingly, Queen Maksima's earrings were removed from the crown. The title of the king is "De Stuart Diamond Crown", which is the most expensive crown of the Dutch royal family. The diamond with the same name embedded in the crown is a rare colored diamond with a light blue-green tone and weighs 39.75 carats. It is said that this square diamond comes from Golkonda, a famous Indian mining area. There have also been some rare diamonds in the world, such as Hope Blue Diamond, Mountain of Light Diamond, Eye of Light pink diamond and so on. With regard to the origin of this giant diamond, we have to start with Mary Ⅱ, the wife of William III, the king and ruler of the Netherlands, who bought this diamond at a huge sum of money. 1694, after she died of illness, she had no children, and all her property, including this huge diamond, belonged to William III. William III lent her a huge diamond to please her heir to the throne and sister-in-law Queen Anne. When he died, his family came to get this huge diamond back. Queen Anne was very angry, but she also fought a lawsuit, but she didn't win. This huge diamond is still in the hands of the William III family. His home is orange, and together with the Nassau family in the Netherlands, he established the Dutch royal family, and then it was only owned by the Dutch princess. 1897, Emma, Queen and Regent of the Netherlands (William III's second wife), made a giant diamond together with more than 900 diamonds into a crown to celebrate her daughter Wilhelmina's18th birthday in the second year, which is what we now see as the "De Stuart Diamond Crown". "De Stuart Diamond Headdress" first appeared in front of the world. Queen Julianne (the only daughter of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrick) wore it publicly when she visited Britain, and has never appeared in any public place since then. Why? Because she thought the crown was too complicated, it was inconvenient to wear, and it didn't conform to the trend at that time, so after wearing it once, she took the liberty to take it apart and give it to her daughters soon. When I arrived at Queen Maksima (the granddaughter of Queen Julianne), she felt that the "De Stuart Diamond Headdress" represented the prosperity of the Dutch royal family and should not be dismantled, so she collected the dismantled parts one by one. Finally, in 20 18, when she visited Britain, she wore her ancestral crown again. This diamond crown, which is the best in Europe, immediately became one of the world-famous treasures after being rediscovered. Queen Julianne, who was crowned with three treasures, was ingenious. She not only removed the diamond headdress of De Stuart, but also removed a giant sapphire suit that her mother Queen Wilhelmina loved most. Previously, the sapphire earrings worn by beatrix (former Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard), the eldest daughter praised by the media, came from part of her grandmother's crown. This pair of earrings has a number 8 under it. There are diamonds in the small circle of the number 8 and sapphires in the big circle. They are detachable and used to replace precious stones. Everything can be crowned. Queen Julianne also has a crown called the Dutch diamond belt. This crown crown is inlaid with 27 specially cut diamonds, which can produce amazing fire colors in all directions of generate under the illumination of light. It has also been transformed. The first necklace appeared, which was bought by the Dutch as a wedding gift for Queen Emma. Besides the "De Stuart Diamond Headdress", Queen Maksima's second favorite is this crown. She thinks that this crown without fancy decoration just likes the straightness of this big diamond groove! Queen Maksima likes to use it with jewelry sets. Whether wearing huge earrings or wearing a wrist-tired heavyweight bracelet, it can simplify the complex and make her look particularly dignified and elegant. Jewelry+Crown is a new item. Among the many jewels that Queen Julianne has demolished, Xiaoyu likes the crown named "Dutch sapphire headdress" designed by her best, as shown below. This crown consists of Queen Wilhelmina's necklace and another crown inlaid with 33 sapphires and 655 diamonds. Although the operation of 1+ 1 was simply done, the magical effect of > 2 was obtained. Considering that during her reign, the Netherlands became one of the richest countries in Europe, people can't help but sigh that her creativity is really strong. After this crown was handed to Queen Maksima, yes, it was taken apart again and divided into a pair of earrings and a crown. I thought that when she got married before, she transformed herself into a pearl diamond five-pointed star crown. This crown was originally inlaid with pearls, but she changed it into diamonds and specially designed it as a five-pointed star. The five-pointed star is not her original creation, it originated from Queen Emma's five-pointed star crown. Seeing this, do you remember the phrase "not a family, not a house", which is also very suitable abroad! Look at a few more pieces to enhance aesthetics and some crowns of the Dutch royal family. Reluctant to delete their beautiful pictures, I chose a few of the most classic ones for everyone to see. The diamond crown below was given to Queen Wilhelmina by her father William III when she was 9 years old. Although small and chic, it is now worn on the head of Queen Maksima, an "older child"! This aquamarine crown has the style of Art Deco era, showing its unique personality by geometrically cutting diamonds and aquamarine. Queen Maksima wears earrings and necklaces like the main stone. However, the stones that support jewelry are far less than crowns. Look at the seven giant star-cut aquamarine? I don't know what kind of jewelry I will see next time ~ This ruby peacock crown is one of the few antique jewels successfully unlocked by Queen Maksima. Its origin can be traced back to Queen Wilhelmina, who made a set of jewelry with more than N rubies given by William III to his first wife, Queen Mary, including a big necklace, a big brooch, a big bracelet and a pair of big earrings (even the queen, because her daughter is not her own, can only dispose of the treasures left behind at will). Maksima, the queen of players, usually transforms this headdress into a necklace to wear, which is equally radiant. The ruby crown of Mai Lanrui below was created by William III for Queen Emma on behalf of French jeweler Mai Lanrui. This crown is much simpler to play. Suits only match earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, etc. , but also split into 10086+ pieces of jewelry and put them in the royal treasure house. In the hands of Queen Maksima, she often matches the crown with matching ruby jewelry, and the matching dress is as noble and dignified as possible. Princess Diana's favorite "Pearl Tears Crown" is world-famous, and Queen Maksima has one more. One is an antique pearl crown, and the original owner is Queen Wilhelmina. It is made of seven large pear-shaped pearls embedded in a diamond base shaped like an iris. Pearls can be removed and replaced with other precious stones. The other is the gorgeous pearl crown of Wü rttemberg on the right. The original owner was also Queen Wilhelmina, and Queen Beya Trix wore it when she got married. Now these two pearl crowns are mainly worn by Queen Maksima at a very grand state banquet, which makes people look dignified. This emerald pearl crown was made in about 1900 years. The crown is inlaid with emeralds, which have been worn by successive queens or princesses. When Queen Maksima visited Ireland this year, because Ireland is known as the "Emerald Island", she specially put it on in order to do as the Romans do, and the matching dress color was also emerald. After seeing some jewels made public by the Dutch royal family, I believe fans are envious of Queen Maksima. The new princess, thanks to her husband's ancestors, inherited jewelry from her husband's mother, grandmother, grandmother and other successive queens and princesses. They are not only valuable, but also classic in style, and will not go out of date no matter how long they are worn. Of course, she is also very good. She used to be an ordinary financial woman in new york, USA. Later, she became the first Latino princess in Europe. The king almost gave up the throne to marry her. At present, Queen Maksima is also the most popular member of the royal family in the Netherlands, with a popular support rate of over 80%. In 20 16, she was also selected as one of the top 100 influential people in Time magazine. An important reason why she is so popular is that her jewelry taste may once again set a new record for the Dutch royal family. For example, for the sake of beauty, she replaced a bracelet of Queen Wilhelmina with a brooch, and her creativity was well received. It is also Queen Maksima's specialty to disassemble Queen Julianne's jewelry into earrings, waist brooches and bracelets. It's a piece of cake to change a brooch into a gem to add color to the image. It is not difficult for her to replace a large diamond brooch with three pendants. In short, if you want to elaborate on the story of her transformation into royal jewelry, you may need to send another one and leave it for later! With the same wealth, British princesses can only borrow the queen's jewels. Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard said, the king is mine, the king's jewels are mine, and even those handed down from the king's family are mine!
