Hesse Diamond Tiara
This stunning piece of the Hesse Crown Jewels was stolen by American officers Jack Durant, Kathleen Nash, and David Watson from Kronberg Castle in 1945. The tiara contains approximately 50 carats of diamonds and once adorned Hessian princesses. Some traced pieces have appeared in American collections over the years. A similar piece sold at auction in 1951 for a remarkable sum, with current estimates between $500,000 and $1 million.
