| | His description is in other respects extremely interesting, and helps to show that towards the beginning of the present century most of the crown jewels (scattered during the troubles ensuing on the death of Nadir Shah), had again been recovered and collected in the royal treasury. | | | A lofty tiara of three elevations was on his head, which shape appears to have been long peculiar to the crown of the great king. | | | Had there been any assumption in his manner I could not have been so impressed. |

| | In 1791, after an attempt by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to flee France, the jewels of the French Royal Treasury were turned over to the government, but during a week-long looting of the crown jewels in September of 1792, the French Blue diamond was stolen. | | | During the Second World War, the collection was placed in jam jars and buried in a potato field near Windsor Castle, while the crown jewels were placed in old hat boxes and hidden in a secret passage in the castle. | | | The royals used the stone in many ways including setting it in the Crown of Louis XV, using it as a hair ornament for Queen Marie and as an adornment in the hat of Marie Antoinette. |

| | The Darya-i-Nur Diamond |
| | Considered to be the most celebrated diamond in the Iranian Crown Jewels and one of the oldest known to man, the 186-carat Darya-i-Nur is a crudely fashioned stone measuring 41.40 × 29.50 × 12.15 mm. | | | In 1906, Mohammed Ali Shah, after being defeated by the Constitutionalists while carrying the diamond and other valuables with him during the Persian Revolution, took refuge in the Russian Legation and claimed that the jewels were his personal property. | | | It is more than likely that the stone was cut from the Great Table Diamond, and stone that was described by Jean Baptiste Tavernier as being over 400 carats, pink, and very flat. |
