What an incredible object. I love going to M.S. Rau. The place is full of not only beautiful antique furniture, but antique game machines and mechanical objections. I could spend hours in the place. It's wonderful to have such a great business like M.S. Rau in New Orleans.

...Shows how little he knows about the actual Elisabeth.

WHO married her grandson? Is that a typo, or what?

to worldcruiser12:We have some sunshine today, but it's cold we have no snow yet(and I hope it stays away).

I don't like my country and I hope to change next year to a warmer climate.Many regards.

There's no Empress who died in Belgium in 1989, but Zita died yes in 1989 in Switserland.And yes Astrid has some of the jewels because she's maried to a Habsburg.

Thanks for the answer finally someone who also know that the Koh-I-Noor was split.She gave the one she had away(because of the bad luck)Now the Koh-I-Noor is spli to: Elizabeth Taylor, Elizabeth of England, and a Eastern man Sultan.Yes Sissi-Sisi HAD one of the largest collections of Europe.

She did not botter about her jewels and gave them mostly away included one of the three(the kho-i-noor) Light of Eastern diamond, now in the possesion of Elisabeth Taylor(Burton gave it as a gift many years ago to Elizabeth Taylor).

So I think this jewelbox she did not botter for this too.This jewelbox has more to tell for the HABSBURG dynasty.Thank you to show.

ur wrong the Koh-I-Noor diamond never belonged to Elizabeth Taylor!

..it was actually given to Queen Victoria in the 19th century by the east india company!

Its now set in the Queen Consorts Crown!...its been there ever since!!!!

[theflowerpower01]

Read correct!Before you answer it says ONE OF THE THREE!I'm not wrong! and I know what I talking about your not.The big diamond was long ago split in three pieces.One of them is in the possesion of Elizabeth Mountbatten Windsor(yes the queen Of UK in the Crown!), the other one was Sissi's and got sold in America(Richard Burton purchaised it on a auction), and the other one is in the possesion of a Eastern Sultan, I know those diamonds, you still can learn a lot!

[obsessivelove69]

so there are 3 Koh-I-Noor diamonds?

[theflowerpower01]

It was one time one big stone and centuries ago they split it in three, the one of Elizabeth's crown is the most known one, the other two are as much worth like that one each, there all 3 a lot of Karats.
