Habsburg family names Andrew Molson as trustee for Florentine Diamond, other fabled gems

November 22, 2025

The Habsburg family has chosen the scion of a storied Canadian dynasty as trustee for its fabled collection of jewels, recently revealed to be stashed in Quebec after being presumed missing for a century.

Andrew Molson, a board member of the Molson Coors brewery and chairman of Avenir Global, a Montreal-based network of global communications firms, will be responsible for stewarding the 137-carat Florentine Diamond and an emerald watch worn by Marie Antoinette, among other treasures.
