Where do the diamonds in the crown jewels originate from?
KatieBedborough
The source of most gemstones in the British crown jewels may be unknown or mysterious until the assets came into the possession of the Monarchy, or the Royal Family. These documents showing the provenance of stones or groups of stones are not public knowledge.
It's safe to report, however, that 'crown jewels' of any type or set in any jewelery or from any source are probably royal gifts, inherited assets or spoils of war.
Also, there is a separation between those jewels used by the Office of the Monarchy, and those owned by the Royal Family.
