There is a sapphire crown, which is a "heavyweight member" of the sapphire family of the European royal family.
This crown includes 655 South African diamonds (total weight 242 carats) and 33 cashmere sapphires (total weight 155 carats). It is beautifully cut, with a large central square sapphire in the middle and a smaller sapphire at the top, with five diamonds on the left and right. The crown center with sapphire can be detached and worn as a brooch, which has great flexibility and applicability.
This crown was bought by King William III of the Netherlands for his wife Queen Emma in 188 1 (it is said that this crown originally came from the Russian royal family), and later Queen Emma died in 1934.
This sapphire crown was left by Queen Emma to her granddaughter Queen Julianne. In order to make the crown lighter, Queen Julianne reformed the headdress on the basis of the original crown, highlighting the middle part of the crown and reducing the height on both sides of the crown.
After the abdication of Queen Julianne 1980, this crown was inherited by her daughter, Queen Bitrix. Since then, during Queen Beat Rix's tenure, she can be seen wearing this sapphire crown for many times at dinners, receptions and other important public occasions.
In 20 13, Queen Ricks of Bitter chose to abdicate and let her son william alexander succeed, so the wearer of this sapphire crown changed again and became the wife of King william alexander-Queen Maksima.
On the basis of the existing crown, Queen Maksima reformed it again-the top of the lily-shaped diamond in the middle of the crown height was removed and replaced with a single white diamond, which reduced the original height of the crown, but this change was not permanent and could be exchanged at will.
At a state banquet on 20 15, Queen Maksima wore the full version of this sapphire crown for the first time. After that, most of the time, Queen Maksima chose to wear this crown when attending dinner parties. She also took many official portraits with this sapphire crown, and even used this sapphire crown to "fight" many other royal women.
The key is that the height of Queen Maxima is 180cm. Coupled with the blessing of the sapphire crown, the queen's aura is prominent, and every time she is like a rainbow, she always easily surpasses other European royal women.
