Abstract
Whenever powerful dynasties dominated Iran's history, valuable collections of jewels and gold and silver were collected in their treasures. Concurrent to collecting those collections, a systematic and codified organization was created to preserve and maintain those treasures in the royal courts. Within those organizations there were also workshops for the construction and decoration of new jewels. During the Safavid period, the interest of the kings of the dynasty in having a magnificent court, made it possible to collect a collection of the best jewels inside the court of the Safavid kings. In that period, a precise and orderly organization was established to preserve, maintain, prepare, and construct jewels at the Safavid court. In the sources of the Safavid period, valuable information have been provided about the performance of the administrative organization of royal jewelry and its related positions during this period. The present article aims to study the administrative documents of Topkapi of the royal jewelry and the related positions of the collections by studying existing documents and resources.
The research method used in the study is a library research technique and adaptation and analysis of available resources, especially the main ones. In this historical research, after collecting the necessary data, they were organized, analyzed, and finally inferred.
