This bouquet of “flowers” is actually crafted from 2,000 diamonds and other jewels, gifted by Empress Maria Theresa to the Holy Roman Emperor in 1760. The singular piece is set to go on display as a one-off, must-see event on Valentine’s Day.
The Natural History Museum in Vienna, Austria, said in a statement the remarkable bouquet will be presented during a special tour given by mineralogist Vera M. F. Hammer on Feb. 14.
