I'll add my thanks to all the members who have posted such amazing photos of this past week's treasure trove of beautiful jewels! And I think Nellie's past policy of including a pic with your post is a wonderful idea.....I'll post a few pics of my favorite pieces of royal jewelry.....the Kent Amethysts.....they aren't seen nearly enough, but each time they take a trip outside the Windsor vaults is a good day for me!
