Royal loans and refined tiaras
From glittering tiaras to elegant brooches, each jewel reveals a unique story of power, love and unparalleled craftsmanship. Soestdijk Palace is particularly proud of the loans from prominent institutions and private collectors for the exhibition 'Shine on Soestdijk'. The Royal Collections, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam, Paleis Het Loo and various private collectors have made exceptional pieces available for this purpose. Among the highlights are a special coat of Princess Juliana, dating from around 1930 and an elegant evening dress of Princess Beatrix. Princess Beatrix wore this dress during a ball at the Royal Palace Amsterdam on 9 March 1966, the evening before her wedding . Historical tiaras, worn during court balls, sparkle in the display cases. They have been made available by private lenders. Specially for the exhibition, René Brus has made refined replicas of the famous inauguration tiara of Queen Máxima and the complete Stuart tiara. Paleis Het Loo is making replicas of the ruby ​​tiara of Mellerio and the impressive Württemberg tiara available. This gives visitors the chance to admire these showpieces up close and the attention to detail with which these jewels were made is made clear.
