A Jordanian princess recognised her custom-made engagement ring on an auction catalogue cover, leading to a court case over jewellery allegedly stolen from her London residence
- PC: PEOPLEAn engagement ring made specially for a Jordanian princess became the starting point of a criminal investigation after it appeared in a British auction catalogue in 2020.
- Princess Firyal Irshaid, now 81, told a London court that she had not authorised the sale of the ring or other pieces from her jewellery collection, which had remained at her Belgravia home while she was abroad during the Covid-19 pandemic.
- What began with a telephone call from a friend in the jewellery trade led her to examine catalogues from several earlier auctions and gather records to establish ownership.
