The Sapphire Jewels was the set of diamond and sapphire jewelry hidden all over western Kolyma, including the Sapphire Tiara, the Sapphire Brooch, the Sapphire Earrings, the Sapphire Bracelet, and the Sapphire Necklace.

Background

As King Graham adventured through the land of Kolyma in quest of Valanice, he discovered a number of pieces of fabulous jewelry--a diamond and sapphire bracelet, brooch, necklace, earrings, and tiara. He called them the Sapphire Jewels and presented them as a gift of love to his bride on the day of their wedding at the Monastery of the Blessed Wilbury.

Queen Valanice treasures the jewels as her dearest possessions, and as a symbol of her love for Graham and Daventry. No one in Daventry seems to know how they came to be scattered about Kolyma, but since one of the pieces--the tiara--was found in Dracula's castle, some speculate that they were dropped by one of the vampire's victims as the poor women was flown to join the count's Legion of the Undead. Valanice dismisses that theory, and has dreamed that the Sapphire Jewels are actually the jewels of Scheherazade, given to her by her caliph as a gift of love at the end of a thousand and one nights of storytelling. Valanice might be right.[1] It is possible that both stories are not mutually exclusive.
