The Louvre Heist and the Lost French Crown Jewels | A Jewellery Historian’s View

In October 2025, one of the boldest museum robberies in modern history shook Paris — the theft of the French Crown Jewels from the Louvre’s Galerie d’Apollon. In this video, jewellery historian Zuleika Gerrish, co-founder of Parkin & Gerrish, explores what really happened that morning, which jewels were taken, and why their loss matters far beyond their €88 million value. Featuring original research, historical insight, and rare images of the stolen parures of Empress Eugénie, Queen Marie-Amélie, and Empress Marie-Louise, this talk connects the dots between art, empire, and the enduring allure of jewels that shaped France’s identity. 🔍 Topics covered: • Timeline of the Louvre heist (October 19, 2025) • What jewels were stolen — and their royal origins • Where the gemstones came from • How security failed at the world’s most famous museum • The truth about the black market for historic jewels • Why these pieces were never insured • Lessons for museums and collectors today 👑 Presented by: Zuleika Gerrish, BA (Hons), FGA, DGA Jewellery Historian & Co-Founder, Parkin & Gerrish www.parkinandgerrish.com #LouvreHeist #JewelleryHistory #AntiqueJewellery #FrenchCrownJewels #ZuleikaGerrish #ParkinAndGerrish #CulturalHeritage #ArtCrime #EmpressEugénie #MarieLouise #MarieAmélie #LouvreMuseum
