The jewellery collection of Ajuda Palace was built with pieces from different provenances. The "Crown Jewels" group was owned by the State, and it was to be worn exclusively by incumbent sovereigns. Created in 1827, following the distribution of the estate of D. João VI, it was at the service of successive monarchs until the establishment of the Republic in 1910, and it also includes the jewels on display in section 5: Royal Insignia.
The Ajuda Palace collection is also composed of dozens of jewellery objects which were the private property of Portuguese sovereigns and royal family members between the 17th and 20th centuries.
