    Dear all,

    I was very pleased to have information about you. It is very great to knwo that we are from all over the world !

    My name is Nicolas, I live in Paris at Neuilly Sur Seine. I am a lawyer specialized in personal tax and Wealth and I work for a law firm called a 'big four'. I am currently single...however I wish i could be married with a British girl because I love this country.

    My other hobbies are politics..

    I have been interested by the British royal family since I am a teenager. I don't know why...I am particulary interested by their jewels. I wish one day we could have a list of the jewels owned by QEII or her photo of her Aladdin Vault..

    My first feeling about royal jewels: when Princess Diana was wearing her amethyst demi-parure, her Spencer Tiara and her purple gown. (It was in 1991). I was moved by her glamour

    Owing to you, my knowledge have grown up..I must tell thank you. But what is even more important for me is the fact that I could have friend from all over the world.

    One request : I don't if someone could create a private site about Queen Elizabeth'II jewels. Is someone is interested I could give my notes.

    An other request : How many people are involved in this site ? from how many countries ?



    BESTS REGARDS,

    Franck

    : now on the 55,000 message plan, so you'll be
    : able to search in the archive for older

    : $142.44 USD (that's the most Boardhost has
    : for a package, that or pay $24.49 a month).
    : Eventually I will put up a tip jar for

    : When I have the time to do it, I'll be
    : tinkering with making this board better.
    : People should have the ability to edit or
    : remove their own posts, and registered
    : members will have added abilities, as soon

    : On to an introduction! My name is Jan
    : (female) and I live in Urbana, Illinois
    : (USA). From a previous thread started by
    : Nellie, I notice that there are a couple
    : people who live one state over from me
    : (Indiana).
    :
    : Around 2001 I created one of the first
    : website dedicated to royal jewelry. After a
    : few great years (including an international
    : phone call to an Indian newspaper to
    : complain about them using pictures from the
    : site and information without giving credit)
    : the Tripod site got closed down due to a
    : complaint from a person who went around
    : filing complaints about copyright.
    :
    : Even though the site got removed, other
    : sites sprang up to replace it. This message
    : board (and a couple of others, due to a
    : board scare) also stayed strong and true.
    : We've been fortunate to have great members,
    : as well as real live experts in our midst.
    :
    : After a big move and a major change in my
    : life, I still kept my books on royal jewels.
    : I hope to new members, as well as the old
    : ones mingling on this board, sharing
    : information and interests.
    :
    : Thanks for making 2011 a good year for royal
    : jewelry, and let's hope for a glittery 2012!
