A daring robbery rocked Paris on Sunday, when a group of thieves managed to steal eight jewels of "incalculable" value from the Louvre Museum. The incident took place in the Apollo Gallery, where the historic French crown jewels are kept.
The thieves also attempted to steal the magnificent crown of Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, which contains over 1,300 diamonds, 56 emeralds and more than 1,100 rose-cut diamonds. However, guards intervened in time and they were forced to leave it behind.
The stolen jewelry includes:
Empress Eugénie's tiara, with 212 pearls and around 3,000 diamonds.
A decorative bow, part of a royal belt, studded with over 2,400 diamonds.
Diamond "relic" brooch from 1855, without any religious relic, just jewelry.
Sapphire jewelry set, including a tiara with 24 Ceylon sapphires and 1,083 diamonds, a necklace with eight sapphires surrounded by diamonds, and a pair of earrings (only one earring was stolen).
Emerald and diamond necklace, Napoleon's wedding gift to his second wife, Marie Louise, with 32 emeralds and 1,138 diamonds.
A pair of emerald and diamond earrings, part of the same set.
