Jewellery Collection
The Maharaja Jamsahib of Nawanagar were also known for their Jewellery collection especially Ranjithsinhji, whose Emerald collection according Jacques Cartier was "the unequalled in the world, if not it quantity, then certainly in quality". The collection included, an emerald and pearl necklace, an art deco emerald and diamond necklace designed by Jacques Cartier, and an Emerald collar or choker also designed by Jacques Cartier.
The 61.50 carat (12.3 g) whiskey-coloured diamond, "The Eye of the Tiger", was mounted by Cartier in a turban aigrette for the Jam Sahib or Maharajah of Nawanagar in 1934.

Famous quotes containing the word collection:
“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
