Titanic Treasures Display For First Time 100 Years After Disaster
As part of the 100th anniversary commemorating the sinking of the RMS Titanic, a spectacular collection of priceless jewels is set to go on public display.
Most of the precious pieces recovered from the wreckage of the doomed ship will be made available for the first time ever with a three-city tour starting in Atlanta, Georgia.
The jewelry is from a single purser's bag found during a 1987 research and recovery mission.
The collection includes diamond and sapphire rings, brooches, necklaces, cuff links and a gold pocket watch.
Although single pieces of the jewelry have been on display at one or more permanent and traveling exhibits sponsored by Premier Exhibitions Inc., their Atlanta debut is the first time the majority of the collection has been available to the public.
