The Wurttemberg Ornate Pearl Tiara is thought to be a remodelled tiara from the collection of Sophie of Wurttemberg but this has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, this is where the name originates from.

It was created for Queen Wilhelmina in 1897 and is set with diamonds, round and pear-shaped pearls. She wore the tiara for some of the first official portraits of her.

It is a versatile tiara that can be worn in four different settings.

The future Queen Beatrix chose this tiara as her wedding tiara in 1966, and she wore it to the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson in 2004.

Since Queen Beatrix’s abdication, Queen Maxima has also worn this tiara on several occasions.1
