The Dutch Star Tiara was worn by Máxima Zorreguieta as she married the future King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in 2002.
She put together two separate pieces to create a new tiara. The base of the tiara came from the Pearl Button Tiara, and five diamond stars, which belonged to Queen Emma, were attached. Queen Emma had been given two sets of diamond brooches by her husband, King William III, in 1879. One set has stars with ten points, while the other set has 12 points. Máxima chose the first set for her wedding tiara.

After her wedding, she wore the tiara regularly. Recently, it was also worn by her eldest daughter, the Princess of Orange, on the occasion of a gala dinner for Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway’s 18th birthday.1
