Im no expert but it seems the Greek Royals only had private jewels, given to the various princesses when they married into the family and inherited by their children. Im not aware of any great purchase of jewels by the Greek state. The first queen from the Glücksborg-dynasty was by birth a Romanova. She was given a lot of jewels like almost every Grandduchess as she married a king her jewels might have even been a bit more. Various sets that are still with the family were part of her trousseau. Her daughters-in-law Sophie, Marie, Elena and Anastasia all brought jewels. Im not to sure about Francoise. Even though the current members still have an impressive collection, many other pieces have been sold or inherited outside the family.
