It’s a nice idea, but to be honest I think it’s actually unlikely, as the Crown Jewels were broken up and sold off during Cromwell’s reign and in anycase Anne was crowned with St Edward’s crown, but it wasn’t hers as such as it belonged to the King/Queen and the country, and therefore Anne couldn’t have added one of her own Jewels to it even if she had wanted too, granted it could cut to fit the shape of the wearers head but I don’t think it would have been altered in any other way. Well who knows hey it’s certainly would be nice to think that perhaps one of Anne’s jewels survived Cromwell crusher..

Oh I just meant that since St Edwards Crown sat on Anne’s head it’s nice to know we can still see some of her regalia, even though a lot of the crown as it is today only dates from Charles II! It’s sad to think that Anne’s jewels, having been appropriated by the Crown at her execution, were probably lost and sold off during the civil war.

Was Hever Castle ever, like, fully searched. You know every little hole in the floors and shelves? Maybe there are little baubles of Anne’s or Mary’s or George’s? Is that a possibility?

Given the remodelling there must have been over the intervening years, I’m sure most of the more accessable stuff has been investigated..

It's always bunnies.

There isn’t much left of the Tudor Castle to be honest as I think after Anne of Cleves died it fell into disrepair. So it’s possible that anychance of finding some of the Boleyn’s trinkets could have been consigned to a long forgotten dump site, although there is a slim chance that any rubble etc that was cleared from the site could well have been used to fill in the moat so there could be a gold mine of information in the moat.
