Perhaps the most fantastic existing treasure, the Imperial Jewels of Iran include some of the most amazing pieces of jewellery that have ever been made. From a globe encrusted with 51.000 precious stones, to the World?s largest spinel (weighting 500 carats) and dozens of loose emeralds and diamonds, going through bejewelled crowns, tiaras and necklaces, aigrettes and swords? Some of these outstandingly magnificent items came into use for the first time in decades on the 26th October 1967, when the Shah of Iran crowned himself.
