Stunning brilliant sapphire blue earrings inspired by the parure of Queen Marie-Amelie of France stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris

Beautiful blue earrings
sapphire and brilliants, inspired by a set of Queen Marie-Amélie, wife of Louis-Philippe Bonaparte, stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris. They are a superb piece of jewelry made in France, in the shape of a drop or pear, surrounded by brilliants set with 4, 6 or 8 prongs.

The earrings are part of a gold, Sri Lankan sapphire, and gold diamond set belonging to Queen Marie-Amélie and Queen Hortense. This set consists of a tiara, a necklace, and this pair of earrings. Louis Philippe, King of the French from 1830 to 1848, intended this set for his wife. He acquired it in 1821, when he was still Duke of Orléans, from Hortense de Beauharnais, daughter of Joséphine. The set was then probably modified and reassembled, at least in part.

Marie-Amélie wears this set in her portrait by Louis Hersent in 1836.
It is also accompanied by two small brooches and a large one. The sapphires are surrounded by diamonds set off in gold settings. All the links of the necklace are articulated, revealing the great technical perfection. The commissioner, as well as the author (or authors, given the
successive additions and alterations) of the adornment are unknown but
This collection is a precious testimony to Parisian jewelry. It was purchased by the State in 1985 from the former collection of the House of Orleans and was exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, in the Galerie d'Appolon on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
