Despite there being a lot of uncertainty due to the Corona Virus, the Louvre was the highlight of my visit to Paris last week, HERE, and I got to see the magnificent French Crown Jewels in person, which was an absolutely wonderful experience!
After being underwhelmed by the size of the Danish Emerald Tiara previously , it was truly a delight to be able to appreciate the scale of Empress Eugenie's Pearl Tiara and of the Duchess of Angoulême's Emerald Tiara! However, I was surprised by the small size (not of the stones but of the parure) of the Orléans Sapphire Parure , which seemed especially tiny beside the larger Tiaras!
