But if the dear people at Mellerio were convinced that genuine scientific research was of importance I am sure they would have allowed others like (art) historians to do research in their archives but they typically don't compile glossy books that attract new customers. As I understand it they have kept their archives pretty much closed for research citing privacy as the main reason but now when publicity can be generated to boost sales .......the veil is lifted..... --Previous Message-- : : You could have a point there, but I would : not like to see that put an end to genuine : research, and recording, of the history of : important jewels in the archives of the : major jewel houses. : : --Previous Message-- : I agree with the previous comments, I think : the same about the book.
