We also got a great look at her bracelets — including her diamond wedding bracelet, the diamond bracelet featuring symbols and her family’s initials, and the gold and cabochon gemstone bracelet engraved with her daughters’ names — as well as her watch and her ring. It’s tough to see her, but the ring is set with a large, faceted orange gemstone; it was a gift from King Willem-Alexander after the birth of their second daughter, Princess Alexia.

Here’s a better look at the earrings and the bracelet. I think the bracelet is studded with small white gemstones.
