- With the announcement of 400 pieces of the Al Thani Collection up for auction at Chrsitie's in New York this June, I thought it would be a good time to share again my video of the Bejewelled Treasures exhibition at the V&A Museum in London in 2015. The 400 pieces for sale represent but a fraction of the entire collection so enjoy the video which showcases the spectacular Al Thani collection - a dazzling history of the magnificence of Indian jewellery from the 17th century to modern day. This awe-inspiring collection of Al Thani jewels captures the jaw-dropping opulence of the courts of the Mughals, the splendid style of the maharajas, and the beauty that India has inspired in contemporary jewels. From early court jewels and famous diamonds such as the 70ct Idol’s Eye or the 57ct Star of Golconda, the exhibition takes us through time to the early 20th century with outstanding pieces of Art Deco jewels by houses such as Cartier and Mellerio dits Meller, or celebrated designer Paul Iribe. The exhibition culminates in a series of jewels by contemporary masters JAR and Viren Bhagat - reason enough to visit this unique exhibition. A jewellery collection of this calibre is not to be missed as it is a true treasure trove of delights. Read more here: www.thejeweller...

The Indians really know how to catch the attention.
Such beautiful jewels...
I went to see Cartier at the Met years back. The Indian inspired jewelry was really the Most! rubys and sapphire cut like fruit with emerald foliage. It's just too much! It was amazing.
Jai India! Divine creativity in all you bring to the world.
Thanks to the British that expose them. 👰🕴🌩🍇
Ruby !!!!! But I can see the blood of INDIAN people ...
Dumb

Daniel Hammond Al Thani Collection in Venice video
It really is a tragic double edged sword, admiring these priceless magnificent jewels... while there is no denying the exceptional skill required to create them, one simply cannot forget that for hundreds of years, millions of enslaved and starving people slaved away in absolute squallor and died tragic deaths just so that a select few people could swish around all day, every day, playing with priceless jewels (that could have fed, clothed, sheltered and educated hundreds of people, for years!
The craftsmanship is breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. Thank you.
How did I miss this splendid video in 2015? That was a tremendous exhibition and this video does it justice. I wish I could have seen it. I am going to purchase a book about these Indian jewels.
That Golconda diamond is out of this world.
They stollen that Golconda Diamond from india 😡😡

Wonderfully exhibition of royal decorative pieces of haute jewellery art. But future of haute jewellery will be looking different 😉
Stolen or looted from India...
Good question for the emir of QATAR....
No need for him to steal or loot as he is a very rich king in the middle east
No traded, know your history
Not stolen. Sold and purchased.
Beautiful gold diamond jewellery
Amazing collections! 😍😍😍
These magnificent jewellery pieces were all plundered by the British from the Indians they conquered. To view these, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to witness the finest in stolen treasures.
You ever bother to ask the Maharajas about the caste system they continued to profit off of?
@@sarapara174 No, the British didn't demonize it. Caste system is very alive and well. Tell me. How many 'Untouchables' have rights?
Guess you didn't hear what she said...
Jewellery pieces owned by " EMIR OF QATAR .....THE QATAR COLLECTION...AND A FEW PIECES OWNED BY THE QUEEN "
Not plundered Jewellery.
@@blacktigerpaw1
The " maharajas" did not start the caste system..... read some indian history......all countries had and most still do....have caste systems.....
Caste is fine....as long as you don't discriminate people based on caste
@@blacktigerpaw1 not just " untouchables "
Even the highest cates brahmins in Tamil nadu and kerala are discriminated even in 2020
As long as you can't help but collect jewels of this quality .the world and people go on
Just incredible!
A work of art!!
Why doyou have this jowellery in your country not in india ????????🤔
It is an exhibition .... it is called the 'AL THANI " collection....if u can read and speak ENGLISH..... u would understand what ms.dolton is saying...
UNTIL 18TH CENTURY IT IS BELIEVED THAT INDIA IS ONLY COUNTRY WHERE U CAN FOUND DIAMONDS SO ALL ALMOST MOST OF THE DIAMOND IN THE TREASURE ARE INDIAN. FIRST DIAMOND MINES ARE INDIAN
No….lots of places had diamonds
Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So gorgeous...💗💗💗
Vous nous faites un fabuleux cadeau de Noël merci Maria
+Celia Garsi Thank you Celia! You are very kind to say so and I appreciate your encouragement. Maria
+TheJewelleryEditor thank you Maria and see you soon!
Wow amazing Jew.
I. Miss you d d Turcott WOODWARD OF ENGLAND
Très très Chic 👌
Simplemente guau guau. Una maravilla todo.
Beautiful
I want them all.
wow
Why not leave these beautiful pieces in India, for them to show in a museum for profit? Why not bring tourism in though the culture to India instead of England? Why must the tartars steal everyone's culture?
Tatars? ENGLISH LADY ENGLISH
collection of AL THANI ....just so u know ..AL THANI is the ruling muslim family of QATAR.
These pieces have been bought by them....indian royals sold these works of art to them for BIG MONEY ....
At least this way the world gets to see them.
What u think happened to all other ancient Treasures in the museums of India? The Indian politicians steal and sell them in black markets
I'm wondering about all the jewelry belonging to Anita Delgado that went down with the ship...
Correction: The jewels were never gifted. They were looted from Indian temples and treasuries of maharajas.
Hola a todos. La señora que presenta el vídeo, siempre va a las exposiciones o tiendas de joyería bien desarreglada, con ropa corriente y la joyería que usa bien corriente, sino va al súper mercado o a la tiendita de la esquina, ¡va a casas joyeras de mucho prestigio! Debe asistir a esos lugares con ropa formal, elegante y usar joyería fina y hermosa. Ni modo que no tenga dinero suficiente para lucir bella, presentable y apropiada para estos eventos. Descuadra por completo con su presencia corriente y la elegancia y el lujo de las joyas.
this is amazing , spectacular thanks maria for sharing .can i post the video on my Arabic language blog ?
very very nice !!!!
Emerald the best stone
Please bring this show to V&A Dundee
Красота!
Royal Men were like shinning peacocks and people gawked at them
Many of these were gifts passed on to visiting royals or carried,or sent as gift to the Empress of India at the time and before
Nope. Most of these jewels were stolen from Hindu temples and treasuries.
Those are mostly jewls stolen from hindu, Jain, Buddhist temples then mughals looted finally went in hands of britishers and they have audicty to call us poor lmao after sucking out wealth from India
@@suhani551 this aren't hindu jewelrys tho they are more Muslim rulers jewelrys
They weren’t “sent as gifts” they were extorted. Nobody in India considered her the Empress of India. She was only the British Queen to us. Guess she crowned herself. The entitlement of the Europeans & the delusion of superiority still blows my mind to this this day.
@@malopephasha5341that's not true. All of these are from the maharajas's collections. This isn't the mughal magnificence collection.
VICTORIA & ALBERT
love it!!!!
I don’t understand why the words stolen, looted, conned aren’t used in this documentary. That’s exactly how these jewels were taken, not to mention al thani stealing oil wealth. Using the funds to buy these jewels from other crooks whose granddads stole from India
Most of the indian rajas...sell jewelry used by their ancestors....
They sold the Nizam of Hyderabad jewelry collection few years ago.... when they do not wear them in the 21st century...why keep them?
They sold princess Margaret's jewelry...
Elizabeth Taylor's
Begun aga khan's etc etc....
aí JESUS ME LEVA ATÉ ESTE LUGAR ANTES DE MORRER DEIXA EU VER ISTO DE PERTO POR FAVOR
More images of jewelry. Less head shot of the editor please
nice !!
Look at the audacity though.
the books buried must tell a story. On whose hand is this blood? Loot, Kill and destroy and then show the glory. Such is the civilization of the British. Shame
AL THANI COLLECTION is not British.....QATARI
Je(Goddess)-Well(Mirror =Sign of Goddess)...
We(Wi=Up)=Heaven...
Only kimchi god's bloodline Jewell...
Is there a book for the exhibition on sale?
+Alfredo Bernal Yes It's about £25
Okay 👌🏻🌹
The best cutters are from India.
These people have No Shame by looting all these precious jewelry from India and renaning their loot as glory and exhibiting it ...😡😡😡😡
Grotesk vanity. . . that with Time vanishes. What counts is a heart of gold.
But mademoiselle Marie is a Lady. I watch all videos. Thanks! Greetings.🌸
@arun tiwari Excuse me, I do not buy jewelry. I don't need.
類似珠寶買賣 最好有定期私展
就是貴族很喜歡這種高單價發票
涉及奢侈稅是沒錯
只是 貴族他們有人頭可以 開很多張發票
I have emerald from philippines
Editing cuts away from the jewellery too fast!
All jewellery robbed from India..
These people should be punished for looting India
Not LOOTED.... my friend
The EMIR OF QATAR have collected them....
These pieces go on sale and most of them are sold by the decedent's of the Indian royals.....
Why keep something ....you don't wear?
@@rafaelguerreros263 sold? Lmao they were looted not sold and these looting are reasons for present india's economy
jewerly and Pearl costly with recognition
I’ll buy it. Yahwehnme

Oh dear Maria this place could be called convention, because there is another place that is called 'exibition' and IT IS FOR OUT DOOR DISPLAYS.

Calling the Queen a thief is out of line. In later years British and Indian government relationships have been difficult but on a personal level the Queen has had friendship with Maharajas and warmly gifted with lovely Indian pieces of jewelry. The Queen is very, very wealthy and has no need
to "steal" anything.
Priceless precious things can't be gifted even a kid can difference what's stealing and what's gifting.. When u won the war or colonised a country u must stole their valuable things.. It's not that those maharajas and mughals were willing
Return 300 trillion dollar worth of money plundered from india. We will not call your queen king or any body thieves.
The queen is wealthy now because of the blood and sweat of the Indians. Temples and royal treasuries were looted. Indian economy was completely destroyed and our money was used to build UK.
THIEF
British royality will suffer for this
Why would the British royals suffer for
AL THANI collection of QATAR?
Do you know anything the rest of the world doest know ?
Windosors and al thanis.....the same family? Or what ?

These all looted jewels by britishers from india during colonial rule. These are not I spired this is plundered loot
India have more beauty than these gems
It really pains to see how everything was snatched away. .... hair pins, finger rings and turban ornaments all torn out and looted away by colonialists... These must have been the daily wear items of maharajas and maharanis... .. Imagine someone robs you out of your clothes
Proudly showing off stolen items....lol cultureless people....
You are a looters
Everything is by the way looted
