I think quite a lot of people would like to know something about the Royal and Private jewelry of the Romanian family. Anyone with information ?

Romania became a kingdom in 1881 by crowning Carol I with this crown. Carol arrived in Romania [Walachia + Moldavia] in 1866 as was proclaimed "Principe" [head of state] and needed to go to Istanbul to be confirmed.
It is now in the National History Museum in Bucharest
