The 4-pound pearl, ruby, diamond and emerald crown she received at her 1967 coronation took Pierre Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels six months to make. Although she had to leave many of her jewels behind when she left with her husband in exile in the late 1979, her crown is still in the Iranian Crown Jewels, located in the Iranian Central Bank in Tehran. <br> Gucci produces a line of beauty products using the Van Cleef & Arpels brand name. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org" target="new">Source</a>
