    I'm hoping my copy will arrive any day now when I will join in the conversation.

    : I thought it should say aquamarines - not
    : singular , rather than from another item of
    : jewellery. I'd always thought they were a
    : gift of loose stones.

    : Mine arrived today as well and I have read
    : through it once already. There are two pages
    : devoted to aquamarines. And there is such a
    : tease!
    :
    : Angela Kelly writes about the aquamarine
    : tiara: "The tiara was made for The
    : Queen in 1957. Originally simpler in form,
    : it was adapted in 1971by the addition of the
    : four scroll ornaments from an aquamarine
    : (sic) presented by the Governor of Sao Paolo
    : in 1968."
    :
    : Admittedly, it is not clear but it sounds
    : like the scroll ornaments were simply moved
    : from the 1968 piece in 1971. Unfortunately
    : the noun that should be where sic is is
    : missing. Who wants to write to the publisher
    : and ask for an erratum to be created?
    :
    : Love the additional pictures of the
    : aquamarine and ruby rings along with the
    : personal pearl pieces.
