Famous European Crowns with an explanation of the history of a particular crown
 
Quite strange that the Belgians have no Crown not even a gilded ceremonial crown that could be displayed at Funerals/Enthronements.
 
http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/kings-of-belgium-through-history.html declares:
He (Leopold I) was crowned King of Belgium on July 21, 1831, an event which has become Belgium's National Holiday.

http://biography.yourdictionary.com/leopold-i declares:
He (Leopold I) accepted the crown

Was a crown made for King Leopold I of Belgium?

No, because a crown was connected with the droit divin, being King by the grace of God and represents a territorial claim as well. The Belgian monarchy of 1830 is an "elected monarchy" by which the King is "of the people" and not of the country (as the country belongs to the people and not to the King).

Anno 2022 this sounds as pure futility but back then it was in the same league as Louis-Philippe d'Orléans who became "King of the French" instead of Roi de France et de Navarre, which was the proper title for centuries. And befitting the topic of this thread: Louis-Philippe opted for no coronation at all. This example was followed by Leopold I (who would marry King Louis-Philippe's daughter, Princess Louise-Marie d'Orléans in 1832 by the way).

Are not the tiaras that the Queen of the Belgians wear considered Crown Jewels?

No the few historic jewels that are left are privately owned by members of the BRF and are not Crown jewels as such.
 
There are no Crown or Crown Jewels

Kingdom of Belgium
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Principality of Monaco -looted during annexation during French Revolution.
not sure about the Principality of Liechtenstein?

Yup. These are the only countries in Europe with a monarchy that do not have a crown and crown jewels.
 
The Tudor state crown was created by King Henry VII of England or by his son King Henry VIII of England.
