This stunning collection of gems lay forgotten in a bank vault for 30 years.
The emeralds, sapphires rubies and diamonds were locked away in a private bank-vault for safe-keeping in about 1980 but were then forgotten about. It wasn't until the family's affairs were being sorted out in 2010 that the vault was opened.
The beautiful hoard of jewellery is thought to have been amassed at the start of the 20th century by an unknown woman owner in the West Country England..

Where could she possibly have gotten all that, some of those look like crown jewels.
