The Stuart Tiara, home to a 39.75-carat diamond, has quite the history.
This wasn't the Stuart Diamond's first trip to the U.K.: Queen Juliana also wore it on her state visit in 1972. If you're wondering why it's caused such a stir, the diamond has quite the—starting with Queen Mary II's order that it not be cut into two diamonds, as was common practice at the time, but maintain its full size, when she and her husband King William III purchased it in 1690.
Now that the tiara is in the hands of the Queen of the Netherlands—who is the Netherlands' first queen consort to have been born as a commoner, as well as outside of Europe—Queen Maxima has been putting it to good use; she also wore it this past May, on a visit to Luxembourg.
