Yeah - no one alive in Ireland these days has ever seen them either...
The Irish Crown Jewels consist of a star (decorated with Brazilian diamonds, its centre featuring an emerald trefoil and ruby cross on a blue enamel background), a diamond badge and five gold jewel-encrusted collars. The insignia comprises 394 jewels, mostly from Queen Charlotte’s jewellery. Today the Irish Crown Jewels would be valued at several million euro.
The jewels were discovered to be missing on 6 July 1907. News outlets at the time reported that ‘there is no spot in Dublin, or possibly in the UK, which is at all hours of the 24 more constantly and systematically occupied by soldiers and policemen.’ The timing was also significant – they were stolen shortly before the visit of King Edward VII, during whose visit the jewels were to have been used for swearing in Lord Castletown as a new knight of the (Most Illustrious) Order of St Patrick.
Yall know the new manufactured diamonds are NO DIFFERENT from "real " ones from the dirt .. right ??
