A place to post crown jewels of any monarchy. 

Here are the Bavarian Crown Jewels. (Gotta love those Wittlesbachs)




Queen of Bavaria's Crown 1806-7




Crown of an English Queen - probably belonged to King Edward III or Anne of Bohemia, the wife of King Richard II, who was deposed that year by Henry IV. Henry's daughter, Princess Blanche, married the Palatine Elector Ludwig III in 1402 and eventually made its way into the Bavarian treasury


When Otto of Bavaria became the first King of Greece (actually his official, more 'democratical' title was King of the Hellenes, as consistently used by his successors) in 1832 when the great European powers forced the militarily chased Ottoman empire to formally accept its independence, he brought with him from Bavaria some of his ancestral Wittelsbach dynasty crown jewels, a crown, orb and sceptre which he declared to be the Crown Jewels of Greece.

^^ I think that's the Queen Mother's crown, not QEII's.  QEII gets the big ones: the Imperial Crown of State (worn at every parliament opening) and St. Edward's crown, which is only used during the coronation.
