The history of royal jewelry, as well as other precious metal pieces of historical value, has been metamorphic, with the political regime and legislation shaping their way. The memory of Queen Maria’s jewelry can also be found in vintage photographs, drawings from the 1900 inventory, but also in a series of documents such as jewelry lists from 1902, correspondence, invoices, wills or other documents. Many of Maria’s jewels were lost in Bolshevik Russia, only a few have been preserved, some are exhibited by the museum, others came into the possession of the family after the queen’s death, their fate being identified with that of the heirs. From the old images survived the spirit of a princess, then queen, owner of a beautiful collection of jewelry, from Victorian style to Theodora style, from an Art Nouveau impregnated by its special personality to Art Deco fashion much simplified, dominated in the last part of life of pearls and diamonds.
