Other items in the Louvre that belonged to the Empress are diamond brooches, among them this piece from 1855. It is called a reliquary brooch, although the Louvre says that the diamond-clad item does not contain any spaces to house a holy relic.

Nine pieces of Napoleon’s jewelry were stolen from the Louvre on October 19, 2025, in a heist lasting under seven minutes.

Three masked thieves carried out the robbery in the Apollon Gallery on the museum's second floor, which overlooks the River Seine and is currently under construction.

No violence, very professional,” said France’s culture minister, Rachida Dati, describing the thieves as appearing to be highly “experienced.”
