: I have a couple of times at this board
: mentioned a new book on emeralds featuring
: among other things HM Queen Margrethe’s
: “view on” the Danish Crown Jewels emerald
: parure. (Posts here:

: I am afraid that’s if not wrong then highly
: exaggerated marketing. I now have the book
: in my hands, and as for the Queen’s views,
: we get a small text box with the same
: information already published by the press:
: The emerald parure requires something
: special, while for instance pearls are
: easier to wear because they go with more.
:
: However, the author has had access to the
: study the jewels up close, and there is a
: full chapter in the book with a gemological
: analysis of the whole set and new and
: beautiful close up photos. That alone makes
: the book highly interesting for a royal
: watcher.
:
: I haven’t read the other parts of the book
: yet, but it seems we get an introduction to
: the beryl family. As a beginner in this
: field I look very much forward to reading
: these chapters as well. Furthermore the book
: has lots and lots of amazing photos – very
: much eye candy, and nearly to many photos of
: celebs wearing emeralds as well. However,
: skimming through the book, as a royal
: watcher I do miss information and photos of
: the Greek and Norwegian emeralds - they
: would imo fit perfectly in a book dedicated
: to the beauty of emeralds.
