Pearls - Rippling beads on princesses and queens

[Principessa]

Netherlands have a wonderful collection of pearls (and diamonds, saphires, rubies, emeralds, etc) and I love the fact Max is not minimalist and take full advantage of the Jewellery vault  

The Dutch Royal Jewels are indeed a wonderful collection.

A nice overview can be found on:

I had posted the link here before, but I noticed the site has been updated since.

Jewel Mysteries of the Dutch

Queen Anna (née Grandduchess of Russia) brought several jewels with her when she married King Willem II (then crownprince Willem). Part of her jewelry was stolen and never seen again. Rumor had it that the jewels were used to buy off blackmail

I suppose Queen Mary (May of Teck) had one of the finest collection of pearls ...... ex: https://burbankstory.word...ueen-marys-missing-tiara/

The woman had piles of pearls. Then again, so did her mother-in-law: https://pin.it/4pTtxik

And Queen Victoria: https://pin.it/6SzNwi8
