i was wondering the same! I realized I'm seeing fewer sapphires and way more emeralds from the Indian royals than from the Europeans.

Emeralds- This is the collection of 22 unset emeralds weighing around 412 carats, the kind which is not seen anywhere.

No, Not at all .The Indian royals always got the best gems in the world . Maharaja of Kashmir has one of the best sapphire collection in the world,The only problem is i don't have pictures

No,Not at all. The picture i have been posting here is something i have collected over few years because most of the famous diamonds and gems once belonged to the Maharajas . It's very difficult to find pictures of Indian Royalties

This is an excerpt taken from Christie's auctioning of THE ROCKEFELLER SAPPHIRE
"The best gems, colored stones or diamonds have traditionally come from India, and the famous sub-continent is synonymous with legendary jewels. It is therefore of no surprise to learn that the Rockefeller Sapphire like so many of the world's most important gems also has its origins from this sacred land.
The Sapphire belonged to the Nizam of Hyderabad from which John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased the sapphire
