6. Georgia

Like the Czech Republic, Georgia is the member of the Council of Europe.

The most interesting fact about the crown jewels of Kartl-Kakheti, a manjor part of Georgia, is that there is no concrete information about it before 1798, although it is speculated that a crown did exist before that. It is said that the ancient crown was lost in 1795 when Shah Agha Mohammed Khan of Persia invaded the kingdom. George XII of Georgia had a replacement crown made in 1798, in Russia. The design deviated from traditional Georgian one. It is made of gold and adorned with 16 amethysts, 24 emeralds, 58 rubies and 145 diamonds. A globe also sits atop the crown.
