Queen's Ring Beatrix

After 33 long years as Queen of the Netherlands, Beatrix abdicated on April 30, 2013, handing over the throne to Willem-Alexander, whom we have called King of the Netherlands ever since. While we celebrate his birthday every year on King’s Day, this year we are paying a tribute to our former queen. This year, Princess Beatrix turned 80 years old, which calls for a celebration! That is why we produced the 2018 King’s Ring in a limited edition of 80 pieces.

The ring is crafted from 14-carat yellow gold and set with a brilliant-cut diamond. The diamond is surrounded by orange sapphires that make it shine even more, just as the royal family makes Princess Beatrix visibly sparkle. The royal family owns crown jewels, including jewellery set with orange sapphires. The orange sapphire is also known as the Padparadscha sapphire and is said to bring the wearer wisdom, love and creativity .

In honor of King’s Day, Diamond Point launches an exclusive ring every year. Just like the Royal ensemble from 2015, The Dutchess from 2016, and Amalia, ‘Beatrix is produced in a limited edition.’

The special Queen of Orange ring from 2013 was created to commemorate the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima on April 30, 2013. The ring is set with two princess-cut diamonds and an orange citrine, and was produced in a limited edition of 33 pieces. This number refers to the number of years Queen Beatrix reigned as sovereign.

Our stylish Queen Máxima turned 44 in 2015. To celebrate, Diamond Point designed the unique Royal Ensemble. The ring is set with beautiful orange sapphires and was produced in a limited edition of 44 pieces.

The Dutchess of 2016 is inspired by our refined Queen Máxima and her love of sapphires. The Dutchess is set with a royal orange sapphire and 12 brilliant-cut diamonds, specially crafted in an exclusive edition of 30 pieces.

The beautiful Amalia ring is inspired by the eldest daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, Princess Amalia. For the first time in 2017, we expanded the limited edition Amalia ring with a pendant and earrings; both produced in an edition of 30 pieces.
