The Nizam's Jewels (collection)

The Nizam's Jewels are an exquisite collection of rare and valuable gemstones, diamonds, and ornaments gathered by the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of India's former princely rulers. These jewels symbolize wealth, power, and cultural heritage, including famous items like the Jacob Diamond and the Deccan Diamond. The collection reflects centuries of craftsmanship and royal splendor, and many pieces are considered priceless. After Hyderabad's integration into India in 1948, the jewels were seized by the Indian government. Today, the Nizam's Jewels are stored securely in the Reserve Bank of India and are regarded as some of the most magnificent royal jewels in the world.
