Jewels of the Nobility

[jcbcode99]

The Westminster's have an astounding collection of jewels--I believe they have two Faberge tiaras (and a Faberge tiara isn't exactly common).
Faberges Gold and diamond Cyclamen Tiara | Duke of Westminster
Faberge Tiara Myrtenkranz | Myrtle-Leaves and berries as a Diadem Duke of Westminster

A Chaumet:
Chaumet Platin Kokoshnik mit blauem Email | Duke of Westminster
To answer CarolinaLandgrave's question, this particular parue (The Bagration Parue) of the Westminster's was bought in 1977 by the current Duke of Westminter as an engagement for his bride, Natashia Phillips.
Bagration Parure - Necklace, Earrings, Comb, Tiara Pink Spinel Diamont Set
This parue is quite simply one of the nicest ones out there.

Oh, and they have this tiara, which I do not like when the pearl spikey things are on top:
Westminster-Grosvenor Pearl Drop Tiara | Orientperlen Tropfen aus der Schatzkammer der Herzöge

Other jewels of the Nobility:
Argyll: Royal Wedding Gifts | Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll
Connoughts: Jewels - Louise Margaret Duchess of Connaught | Princess of Prussia, the diamond necklace is the one Victoria wore when she married Prince Albert (her Turkish diamond necklace)
Devonshire: DIADEM - TIARA

and if you play with the websites, you'll find all sorts of other goodies!

Scooter, I can only tell you that I am, simply put, obsessed with jewels! These pictures come from a virtual treasure trove and I am thrilled to share the link with you. You will find many, many, many delights on this page. With every click there is something new and beautiful--and in many cases, a great deal of the history associated with the piece. It's a site maintained by a genius named Ursula. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Stupid question, do non ruling royals still own alot of these jewels? I'm just learning about history and where jewels go when someone dies, marries, divorces, goes broke! It is so interesting, and I too am a jewelry crazed nut!!
