I find it hard to believe that the Louvre is displaying real jewels.

Why? Replicas aren't going to draw crowds of honest people. Their value is their originality. And they are - or should be - guarded more carefully than some storage area.

I would think that jewels could be duplicated, exactly. I would think that insurance would demand it.

The rubes looking through a case would never know the difference.
