May I request posters to put a special alert on messages that will now disclose info from the book?
May I suggest prefixing the Subject each time with QD ?
I'm not suggesting that people should delay, as they get their copies, but I plan to stay out of such posts until I get my own copy.

: Diamonds, platinum

: These clips ... were made by Cartier for
: Mrs. Greville, one apparently before 1930,
: when a diamond was reset, and the second in
: 1937, using her own stones. At this point,
: the earlier piece was modified to match the
: new clip. They were bequeathed to Queen
: Elizabeth in 1942, and they were given to
: Princess Elizabeth by her parents to mark
: her 21st birthday, during the tour of South
: Africa in 1947. The Queen continues to wear
: the clips regularly."
