Thank you Barbara, the Banner is wonderful! --Previous Message-- : Lovely diamond banner for this extraspecial : jubilee. : : --Previous Message-- : Thanks for the explanation Barabara, what a : lovely way to show your wish list. : : The one I am looking forward to seeing is : the Durbar tiara. : : (are you in the UK so will you get to the : Palace yourself ?) : : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you all for your kind words of : appreciation! I'm happy you like the banner : ! : : @LittleMo: You're right, some of the items : are on display at BP's exhibition, yet not : all. The Greville tiara isn't, as well as : the Nizam of Hyderabad Roses (the remains : of that lovely tiara...), the Lover's Knot : brooch, the Nizam of Hyderabad Necklace and : the Maple Leaf brooch aren't on display : either. Yet the Coronation necklace, the : Coronation earrings, the Williamson brooch : and HM's 'Best Diamonds', the South Africa : necklace and bracelet (the banner contains : only the necklace) are included in the : exhibition. : : The banner can somehow be read as a part of : my 'wish-list' for the exhibition - albeit : an interesting and (at least for me) quite : misterious piece is missing: The Cockade : brooch... (I haven't found a fitting image : to use in the banner). I still lament the : total lack of information about this jewel : in Robert's book (it is pictured several : times but never mentioned) and am afraid, : that the Souvenir Album from the Royal : Collection won't provide more information : about it, too. : : : : : : :
