Missing: Irish Crown Jewels
A star, decorated with flawless Brazilian diamonds, with an emerald trefoil and ruby cross set against blue enamel. A diamond badge, and five gold jewel-encrusted collars. These were the stunning pieces from the Order of Saint Patrick knights that made up the Irish Crown Jewels, and on July 6, 1907, the gems were discovered to be missing.
Most of the 394 jewels in the Irish Crown Jewels came from Queen Charlotte, wife of George III and Queen of Great Britain (and later the United Kingdom) from 1761 until 1818. Their value, for the stones alone, has been estimated at many millions of dollars, but for the history they encompass they are priceless. And nobody knows where they are.
