She started out with a classic when she married Prince Constantijn in 2001, complementing the strong lines of her wedding gown with a laurel wreath tiara somewhere around 200 years old.
Laurentien also took on another plant-based classic in her early princessing days, wearing the family's Ears of Wheat Tiara to the wedding of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway in 2001. The tiara does better with a little hair piled up behind it, but the motif certainly worked with the dress.
Princess Beatrix's favorite tiara has graced Laurentien's head a couple of times. The diamonds in the center of each motif can be replaced with rubies; Laurentien is partial to wearing it with only one central ruby, which I don't quite understand when you could have the more complete look of three rubies. It's my favorite tiara on her anyway. Just as it suits Beatrix's hair, it also suits Laurentien's short 'do.
That short 'do makes her uniquely suited to show off tiaras with detailed bases, and she certainly did so with the family's aquamarine tiara. That massive aquamarine pendant hanging from a bow brooch associated with the Stuart Tiara/House Diamond Parure doesn't hurt, either.
What's your favorite tiara on Princess Laurentien?
