Has anyone else fallen down an "Irish Crown Jewels" rabbit hole this evening?

Not ATAAT no need to mention that here.

I have been reading about this for 20 minutes or so.

I'd never heard about it before, but is certainly intriguing.

Any thoughts about who did it, where they ended up etc.

I think the most likely things are Shackleton had someone steal them, then they were melted down.

It can't have been Shackleton himself as he was in England at the time.

Thank you for this.

Very interesting indeed and the first I'd ever heard of it.

Someone 'high up ' knows though I doubt we'll ever really know. I'm assuming Shackleton is too much of a national treasure to be sullied.
