Mission to search for missing royal gems

King Thibaw was sent into exile by the British in 1885. He gave the royal gems and giant ruby to colonel Edward Bosc Sladen for safekeeping but it was never given back. His descendent believes that recovering the long lost royal treasure would restore pride in his nation. Soe Win has been investigating the royal ruby’s disappearance with Alex Bescoby, a filmmaker and historian.

On 3 November 2017, he arrived in London in a bid to find a precious giant royal ruby "Nga Mauk" which is said to be the size of a duck egg that was reportedly stolen by a British colonel over 130 years ago. That giant ruby was swiped from the Burmese royal family by a British officer Edward Bosc Sladen who took it back to England. He believes that the Nga Mauk ruby had been used by the British royal family in its crown jewels.[9][10]
