franz grabe No. They should stay together, as a collection, instead of being separated and sent around the globe. We may never see some of them again. It’s always so sad when priceless collections like this are auctioned off and broken up.
It's strange that the jeweler is touching them without gloves, that's usually a no-no, as sweat can transfer which is salty and can damage the jewels in the long run.
I can’t believe they were handling those items with no gloves on, exposing them so close to average public as if they were cheap pieces of jewelry and on top of all that auctioning them...sad, sad, sad....
Its a shame that they will auctioning them to the public, I assume? Should be donated to a museum or kept by her family. Not some private collectors with money to waste. Good piece VOA news
PLEASE not another museum! And why would it be a waste of money for private collectors? Surely they have the right to purchase anything they can enjoy?!
Sun King im agree with you but this jewels are in a private hands ( in this case in a family ) but the family i think needed some money either to keep up apperances or to pay taxes for this items and this is not the first time they did auction some of there jewels before this auction they auctioned already a few pieces from this collection and every generation is very different in believes and ofcourse FINANCIALLY in this kind of family their wealth will not be past down equality generation and generation .
@@elderlypoodle9181 Please do yourself a favour, and check what is the attendance at museums where jewellery is displayed! These objects were made to enjoy and flamboyantly used as status and beauty with glamour occasions and events. They are dead and boring in a museum!
Can’t believe they put their fingerprints all over the piece when they pick it up!!! Anybody in the jewelry industry knows not to put your fingers on the stones. With items like these, gloves should be worn.
SHE IS THE MOST POPURAL QUEEN, HOW DARE YOU PUT IT UO FOR AUCTION, THAT IS SO DISRESPECTFUL, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE DON’T HAVE MUCH OF HER PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Why they didn't put it in france museum as their treasure like duh... It was own by a famous and historical queen! And besides marie was once a queen a leader of france if they can take the presidents (former) items in museum why dont they just put it there its a thousand year items and it was a piece and an item that france queen wears! If they can keep the royals painting why dont they keep that precious items!!!! Ppl! Is so insane that they didnt even care of what theyre doing bcos theyre influence by money!!!! 😠😠😠
Toxic Flour they pieces from her family’s estate and they’ve stayed in her family until now. The French government is welcome to purchase them from whomever is selling them, but they been in her family since before she was put to death.
These are part of the heritage of France. They should stay in the country in Versailles. Maria Antoinette does not have direct descendants as her eldest daughter Marie-Therese was the only member of the family to survive did not have children .
They don't belong to the country!! The stoners and pearls were all purchased from international suppliers. They have ALWAYS belonged to individuals.......and should be worn by whoever can live up to their glory!!
I would prefer these beautiful jewels, no, works of art, to not be in the hands of the country that murdered its owner. French people don’t respect their royal history-they’ll gawk at its splendor and glory, but are overall flippant to anything pre 1789. If these precious stones should go to any museum I’d prefer they go to a museum in Vienna, as one possibility, or Stockholm.
They need to stay incased in a museum! I wonder if it would feel a little strange wearing pieces of diamond jewelry once belonging to the Queen of France ! HUM?

Louise Merriman .. By the time Louis and Marie-Antoinette took to the throne the damage of "excessive spending was already done" from Louis father and grandfather.. Louis was 15 and MA was 14 when they both married and both didn't have the maturity, skills or knowledge to handle the wealth that was bestowed to them as King and Queen
Royal antiques should never be sold off they should be held in a museum for ALL to enjoy!!!
It’s sad that they’re going to be separated and sent around the globe. They should stay together as a collection, as per her wishes.
I agree 100%.
Agreed.
Should have been purchased by France for a museum
They should be in a museum
Definitely NOT!
they should be worn and enjoyed!
@@franzgrabe1 worn by non royal? Hello! It was worn by a Queen! It was a piece of history! A piece that they should keep!!!
The French government can purchase them now that they’ve become available for purchase, if they’d like.
@@TracyMarie71 Spot on!

Can’t believe they put a price on those items
Wow Marie sure loved pearls nice nice nice imagine the energy on those pieces
She should had saved herself and her children. It was possible to save their lives by paying with those jewels
Luda Stout You day that like you know what you’re talking about, when in fact you don’t.
in her day untill the 1920s pearls were THE jewel and worth far more than diamonds

That Tiara is amazing
Those jewels are priceless and should not be sold

Get a life please!!
And get real!!
franz grabe Wow, you really don’t care about these items, do you?
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 what makes you say that???
@@franzgrabe1 Lol, you're insecure, too. Liking your own comment, smh.
It's actually good to touch pearls with bare hands but they should have wore gloves to touch the diamonds and gold/silver.
You know how heart broken and mad this would have made her if she could know that her history is being separated around the world
France should have purchased the crown for the Louvre. Not sure of the verification on the other pieces.
Perfect taste so perfect indeed that she advised the people starving to have some brioche since they had no bread to eat!
Its a shame that they will auctioning them to the public, I assume? Should be donated to a museum or kept by her family. Not some private collectors with money to waste. Good piece VOA news
PLEASE not another museum!
And why would it be a waste of money for private collectors?

franz grabe I think all historical pieces be on display for all to view

I love pearls
Are they all flawless?
SHE IS THE MOST POPURAL QUEEN, HOW DARE YOU PUT IT UO FOR AUCTION, THAT IS SO DISRESPECTFUL, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE DON’T HAVE MUCH OF HER PERSONAL BELONGINGS
I bet a Saudi will purchase them.
And wear them, and we will never see them again. 😢
Who owns the money?

I agree. Place them in a museum
elderly poodle petition the French to purchase them from the auction so they can go and sit in a museum somewhere in France.
She was the Queen of all the murderd persons during the france revolution. Never should France get them.
These are part of the heritage of France. They should stay in the country in Versailles. Maria Antoinette does not have direct descendants as her eldest daughter Marie-Therese was the only member of the family to survive did not have children .
They don't belong to the country!!

True what use would any buyer have for the tiara except for the diamonds
Another museum display?
Please not/
Let them be worn and enjoyed!
@@effooo2000 You obviously have no idea what people wear in the upper circles!
I’d happily wear them.
technically the last French queen was Maria Amalia, wife of King Louis Philippe
Aren’t diamonds really just a market strategy?

Did not show the fabulous jewelry like it should have been.
Ummm... I am a relative of Marie Antoinette...her jewels belong to me, and of course my kingdom....😘😊
Heidi Leeshire 😂
Heidi Leeshire sureeeeee
Get some help lol
They should of kept!! Now where are the pieces and will they ever be seen again. Greedy people.
😆 (lol) WELL!…. After all, It’s not like (Marie Antoinette) She’s going to be needing those.
Her daughter had no kids. How did they stay in the family? What family?
Marie Antoinette sended the jewels to her sister in Brussels to keep them for her.
In her sister. The Queen of Naples and then descent to the Bourbon-Parma family.
This jewelry was bought when her subjects were bloody starving. I'd want nothing to do with them

Louis was 15 and MA was 14 when they both married and both didn't have the maturity, skills or knowledge to handle the wealth that was bestowed to them as King and Queen
Louise, did you know that the King of France nearly bankrupted the country to help with the American revolution?
Marie Antoinette bad luck when she went to France
I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE SELLING HER JEWELS: THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!! They belong to the country !!!!
NO THEY BELONG TO THE PEOPLE WEARING THEM!!!
They belong to her family. It’s up to them to decide to keep or sale them. The French government is now able to purchase the items if they wish.
@@TracyMarie71 I absolutely agree!
let's see if it really belongs to France!
ill ngive 4$1.95
Just maybe someone will purchase and then put in a museum for all to see - maybe ???
Meh too big. Not really a jewelry person though.
