The H.I.M. Farah Royal Collection: A Legacy of Iranian Imperial Splendor and Artistic Heritage

The provenance of many of these jewels is equally fascinating, tracing back through the Safavid, Afsharid, and Qajar dynasties. Conquered treasures from India, such as those brought back by Nader Shah Afshar after his invasion, significantly augmented the imperial treasury, adding legendary diamonds like the Koh-i-Noor (though this ultimately went to the British Crown) and the Darya-ye Noor to Iran's possession. This historical journey imbues each gem with a rich narrative, connecting it to pivotal moments in the region's history.
