- Lord Nelson's legendary Chelengk jewel was stolen from the National Maritime Museum in 1958, never to be seen again...until now.
A replica - made in diamond and enamel, and with the same clockwork mechanism - has recently been completed and will be exhibited at Philip Mould & Co. from 14th November 2017 alongside a recently discovered portrait of Nelson, in which he is depicted wearing the Chelengk. The dazzling jewel will be displayed on an exact replica of Nelson’s bicorne hat, made to his exact specifications by Lock & Co. Hatters of St James’s, who made the original in 1800.

The lack of security for priceless treasures never ceases to amaze
what a shame it is that it was stolen. I wonder where it ended up?
It must have been a sight to behold when Lord Nelson entered a room with hat & celenk, imposing indeed!
I wish we could've seen the jewel for a bit longer. It was the entire subject of the whole piece! Oh well, that's what the pause button is for I suppose. Absolutely fascinating though. I never would have known about this....
Absolutely fascinating! I love how an object that has seen so much - and over such a period of time, can tell a story !~
Watching this on Trafalgar Day (well very nearly). Hurrah.
Patrick O'Brian's creation Jack Aubrey also had one, but this is the real thing.
Nice, but silly me was wanting to see Phillip Mould. Signed, a fan.
I bought it on Ebay. $1743 + shipping.
I was hoping to get a better and longer view of the jewel itself, not just fleeting glimpses. I also would like to know what happened to Lord Nelson's hat. Was it buried with him?
That is very interesting. I never knew about that. What a beautiful piece being recreated by a talented artist!
I love this story
Wonderful story. I suppose the original is long gone, dismantled for its diamonds.
Most likely so, sadly. But wouldn't it be wonderful if it were found, in some family box of costume jewelry!
Antiques Roadshow! ha ha
@@judithwalker3600 or better yet... Flog It...
bought at a charity shop??
Wow!
Fantastic!
Did they ever trace the thief?
I want to see it ticking !
What was the clockwork for?
it rotated the central diamond very slowly
Why is there no sound when the guys talk?
What happened to Nelson's own original hat?
Trojanette83 h. He most likely had several hats. However, there is an effigy in the Queens Gallery Westminster Abbey. He is wearing a hat and clothes that were actually his.
@@IrishAnnie Oh, you're kidding. I did not know that. I have visited W.A However, I don't think I went to the Queen's Gallery. Thanks for telling me. I do plan on sometime in the future returning to England. Perhaps next time I'll get a chance to go there.
Trojanette83 When it was made, his mistress said his hair was not quite right. She was allowed to arrange it the way he wore it.
Trojanette83 The Queens gallery opened for her Diamond Jubilee. It’s basically the attic of the Abbey. They found some really cool things there and made an exhibition of it. What’s really amazing is that you are so high up, you can almost reach out and touch the “beasts” that adorn the flying buttresses. You can see them right through the windows. It was an additional $5, but so worth it.
@@IrishAnnie Cool. Very cool
I do always wonder if Admiral Lord Nelson was cursed in someway because his sacrifice/s were heavy.
King George and his Queen Charlotte insulted him by giving him a second hand coffin, they held it against him for not being faithful to his wife.
No Wonder George wasn't smart enough to score America when it just wasn't in him to give England's most Precious Hero the courtesies he really deserved.
OK OK nice brooch but surely it would have made more sense to have had it remade in the east where the original came from ? Rather than spend many many thousands of someone's money ( the nation ? ) and trying to intellectualise it by saying that 'we can learn from it', really ?? It will be put behind glass like so many other objects ,,,,
Wonder who the Sultan stole it from,
Losers lost the prize. Pretty much the story of 20th century England in a nutshell.
have you been to the british museum?
Rupert Prawnworthy, the winning and losing of Nelson’s Chelengk is an allegory of the recent history of the British Empire itself. To win a prize by force, battle, only to lose it through negligence, incompetence, maybe a little arrogance. See India, Kenya, et al. That I have to spell this out to you is ridiculous. I have been to the British Museum.
@@dave623 All of the world powers lost their empires after the second world war, I got that you were attempting an allegory i just thought the basis of it is a bit idiotic and somewhat trumpian trying to be clever about something while presenting or understanding perhaps 3% of the facts of the situation.
Dear Mr. Rupert Prawnworthy. I take it by your “name” that you are a subject of Her Majesty the Queen and I duly apologize for calling you and all of your countrymen ‘losers’. That being said, a Trumper would never have watched this video, unless it ended with a monster truck full of bowling balls driving off a steep cliff. Also, and I am sorry again, WWII was the final nail in the British Empires coffin. I will bet my left nutsack you can name at least 1 of 2 world super-powers that took over. I pray, good day to you sir. And to answer your original question, yes I’ve been to the British Museum and Nelson’s thing wasn’t there.
