Don't know how old the base is, but this base was used as a complete tiara by Maxima when she attended the wedding of Haakon & Mette Marit while she was still WA's fiancé, and it was used as a mount for the diamond stars during her own wedding.
ReplyDeleteAlso Princess Simone of Lippe Biesterfeld has worn this tiara during pre-wedding events for princess Beatrix or princess Margriet. Princess Simone was the wife of prince Aschwin brother of prince Bernhard
