In the Netherlands, the jewel vault is – thanks to inheritance – filled to the brim with beautiful glitter. Unfortunately, things are different in Belgium. Queen Mathilde could use a new necklace.
During Princess Ingrid-Alexander’s birthday party, Queen Mathilde was spotted for the first time wearing a diamond necklace. Last night, during the state banquet in Germany, the jewel was allowed to serve again. Jewelry enthusiast Benjamin Vaesen actually discovered the origin. This is a necklace from the British jeweler Graff.
Mathilde’s necklace is from the Foliage collection. “Inspired by Miles Davis’ iconic jazz song ‘Autumn Leaves’, the new Foliage jewels capture the hypnotic rhythm of leaves falling from trees, swirling in the wind, as they gently float downwards. By placing different diamond cuts next to each other, including the marquise – which bears a striking resemblance to a leaf – the stones are creatively placed at different angles. The collection dances with movement, color and radiance, reminding us that nature and music are powerful muses.”
