As of Sunday, there was still no trace of France’s stolen crown jewels.
The missing items include a tiara and an earring that once belonged to Queen Marie-Amélie and Queen Hortense in the early 1800s.
Among the stolen artifacts is an exquisite emerald-and-diamond necklace previously owned by Empress Marie-Louise, a gift from her husband, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Interestingly, the crown of Empress Eugenie, Napoleon III’s wife, was discovered damaged outside the museum. It appears the thieves dropped the gold, emerald, and diamond piece during their escape.
