    It's what kept me from going insane because of problems with my right hand and working with the VA on the problem with it. I haven't been able to work because of it. This site and several others of help keep up my spirits and royal genealogy too. It's the discussion we all have that is the fun part because of the tidbits of info that make research so much fun.

    : PJ - I wish to offer some hints for
    : researching the personal jewels of the
    : British royal family.
    :
    : The books of Field and Menkes and Young, and
    : the mega Munn of course are excellent
    : sources for identifying piles and piles of
    : jewels.
    :
    : However, for the facts, I suggest you work
    : your way through the online exhibitions of
    : the Royal Collection. Many of those have
    : loads of the personal jewels of the Queen.

    :
    : Edit: you can't go just by the title of the
    : exhibition. You need to check out most of
    : htem.
    :
    : Then also work through three or four
    : categories of the e-gallery, such as Gems
    : & Jewels, Insignia, Indian Jewellery and
    : Fabergé
    :
    : It really is good fun to do digging like
    : that. Well I have enjoyed it anyway.
    :
    : Happy hunting.
