Thanks Boffer.
But I gathered from somewhere that the exhibition will include swords and other diamond encrusted items.
I just have to be patient a while longer!

: The smaller de Guitaut book is a smaller

: There will not be a complete catalogue, the

: An apt comparison of the two books would be
: from the Victoria & Albert exhibition at
: the Queen's Gallery two years ago two books
: were published. The large and comprehensive
: V&A: Art & Love (which can be compared
: to Roberts book); and then Passionate
: Patrons, which was the smaller book aimed at
: those that wanted a souvenir of the
: exhibition they had seen without all the
: in-depth information (which can be compared
: to the de Guitaut book).
:
: Also the exhibition mircosite should provide
: a lot of information, the pages they
: currently have loaded on the Cullinan
: stones, the Diamond Diadem and Queen
: Victoria's Diamond Crown all indicate that
: the other exhibits in the summer exhibition
: will be explained in detail online.
