You´re welcome DuchessWhat a fantastic collection and very Middle Eastern in appearance! Such a shame that the Shah and his wife left all their jewels in Iran when they left!

The state jewels are where they always were, in the vaults of the Central Bank in Tehran. Then as now they are part of the backup of the Iranian currency, rather like gold reserves. Of course today the Iranian currency isn't worth the paper it is printed on but the jewels are still immensely valuable.
She left Iran with her personal jewels, except the turqoise tiara which she left in Iran. Some of her earrings, necklaces... was sold by the Empress.I don't know if this has been discussed in this or another thread, but I am wondering since the she and her husband had to leave the country whether some of her jewels belong actually to the Iranian country or whether they are her own.
Has the Empress ever worn a tiara since leaving Iran,I know most of her jewels were left behind.
I don't like this tiara. I dislike the shape of those turquoises. I, however, love the earrings.
