Lonely Planet review for Jalokibigalleria
The Jalokibigalleria, in an old seaside customs house, has an internationally notable collection of over 3000 beautiful, rare stones and jewellery, including a crown made using a design that was meant for the short-lived king of Finland. The crown was made in the 1980s by the gallery's founder, who created the 'first and only' crown of the king of Finland from original drawings. Sheets translated into various languages guide you in an offbeat manner around the exhibits, which include replicas of the world's most famous diamonds, and a solid dose of Finnish humour.
