The Royal Jewels


                                                                 




                                                                        
                                                                                                                                           
I like jewellery! I like all aspects of it: the gems, the designers, the history of them and their owners, as well as the science of their creation.

Of course most of us will never own pieces like this but thankfully we can still see them and read about them.
