Selmanas5's Queen Maxima's Engagement Ring on Pinterest Since her engagement to the Prince of Orange on March 30, 2001, Queen Maxima has been the owner of the ring. Orange diamonds, sometimes referred to as "Pumpkin Diamonds," are exclusively found in the Argyle Mine in Australia or in South Africa.
