    It's strange that the jeweler is touching them without gloves, that's usually a no-no, as sweat can transfer which is salty and can damage the jewels in the long run.

      I would prefer these beautiful jewels, no, works of art, to not be in the hands of the country that murdered its owner. French people don’t respect their royal history-they’ll gawk at its splendor and glory, but are overall flippant to anything pre 1789. If these precious stones should go to any museum I’d prefer they go to a museum in Vienna, as one possibility, or Stockholm.
