Yes, the exhibition will include other items other than jewellery.
But these won't be covered in detail in another large book, the information on these pieces will be released in the smaller publication and online.
The Royal Collection release their future publications list months, if not years ahead, and there were only two books to be released in connection with this exhibition.
We shall just have to rely on the web-exhibition as we have done in the past for certain pieces if information.
