True ! Queen Marie-Amelie never wore the french crown jewels only her personal ones. She had a fabulous private collection. --Previous Message-- : I was reading Vincent Meylan's new book (which : I highly recommend) and he briefly mentioned : that Queen Marie Amelie didn't use the : French Crown Jewels. It was an off hand : comment and not the point of the section but : I remembered that Lorenzo had said something : similar in the past. It got me wondering : why Queen Marie Amelie didn't use the crown : jewels. Was it personal or political? What : did they do with the jewels during the : almost two decades of her husband's reign? : It couldn't have been easy to store a : collection of that size and value. : : And a picture of Queen Marie Amelie wearing : her fabulous sapphires because I can't post : something without a picture. : :
