That's wonderful Jon! We have referred to this book on the early threads on the Portuguese royal jewels, but I think in latter threads we only have mentioned it as "the portuguese jewels books" without specifying .
I hope you can buy it and enjoy it as much as I did. Althought it hasn't answered all the question I had on the Portuguese jewels, it has lots of information and lovely never seen pictures. The informations I have on the Por Bem brooch came from this book, I was totally unaware of its existence until then (wich makes me wonder what other treasures may be hidden in royal vaults that we never will know they exist).
I wish you a good reading!
