This is a matter that hurts me to talk about, because I actually feel that myself and the entire people of Portugal were shamefully roubed of their heritage for future generations. The stolen jewels were a Diamond in rough weighing 35 carats (one of the largest in the world), two clover earrings/pins in gold and diamonds, a carved knob cane in gold and diamonds, a gold and Diamond ring and a Diamond riviére. Here are some pics of the stolen jewels:
Ring with a 37 carat Diamond set in silver and gold, second half of the XVIII century
The carved knob cane and the huge Diamond on the top
The Diamond riviére
The Diamond clover earrings
I have found no image of the rough Diamond.
