The big riviere with the Beau Sancy remains me of the necklace of the Queen of Saxony in Dresden which recently has partly been stolen.
I just flew over the text. It looks like the crownjewels was subject to major changes. If required, King Friedrich I, Friedrich Wilhelm I and Friedrich II sold parts of the diamonds in Amsterdam. On other occasions it is documented that the king broke off parts of crowns or jewellery for his own use. Parts of the treasure were given to the respective queen for use, including the diamonds, which otherwise adorned the crowns which rarely were used. If the queen left the area around Berlin or Potsdam, the pieces had to be returned to storage. When the queen died, they also went back.
King Friedrich Wilhelm III also tried to sell the jewels around 1809, in this case all but the pearls. Queen Luise didn't want to lose them. But because of the enormous loss in value, it didn't make sense to sell them, so the treasure was preserved.
At that time the treasure had been grown. While the queens gave parts of their personal jewellery as inheritance to their children, other parts went to the crown treasure. While Queen Luise had many children including three daughters, a lot of her many personal jewelleries went to them (some of her pearls are in Denmark). Queen Elisabeth didnīt have any children, so she gave many of her personal jewellery to the "tresor" with the order that Princess Victoria shall have the use of it as long she would be crownprincess, queen or empress. So, the sapphires and the ruby parures went to the "tresor". Queen/Empress Augusta also gave important parts of her jewels as the emeralds to the treasure.
While Empress Friedrich was dead twelve years when the documentation was published, nothing is said about her last will. As far as I know there were some trouble about her heritage.
