The Jewels of Titanic exhibition has embarked on a 3-city tour, allowing visitors to see 15 jewels recovered from the RMS Titanic. The jewelry collection, presented by Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Titanic The Experience, features an array of Edwardian-era jewelry including diamond and sapphire rings, necklaces, cuff links, and brooches. The jewelry, brought to the surface in 1987 during a research and recovery mission, was found in a purser's bag. The owners are unknown, but the pieces provide a window into the lives and style of the passengers traveling on the ill-fated vessel.
