I've always been interested by the fate of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Jewels (state and personal owned), which are not as well known as the Romanov jewels! Were they all sold hurriedly by Emperor Karl and Empress Zita, or do the Habsburgs have a stash somewhere??
In particular, I'd really like to know about Empress Elisabeth's Wedding Tiara, which I read in a fictional novel was from Archduchess Sophie, but I haven't been able to find out anything about it's provenance or it's fate!
