Iran (Persia) possesses an extraordinary treasure of royal jewelry, including a copious amount of mother-of-pearl from the Persian Gulf. The Koh-i-Noor diamond was one of the most precious jewels smuggled out of Iran and never recovered again. The Iranian crown jewels are in fact the by far largest, most dazzling and valuable jewel collection in the world. The jewels are displayed in the vaults of the Central Bank of Iran in Tehran, and are one of the most appealing tourist attractions in Iran.
