i don't think any of us can easily forget the DofCm in that beautiful necklace!!.....or the glimpse of the Papyrus tiara from earlier in the year!.....i personally don't mean to imply that the vault doors of going to be closing any time soon, but the days of these jewels being dusted off for the opera, film premiers, ballets, balls, dances, etc. are slowly coming to an end......we'll still get to see them sparkle on state visits and grand events, but not as often as the jewel lovers before us.....i know we have some great surprises in store for us....for instance, i don't think it'll be a long wait before we see Queen Maxima bring out the House Diamonds Parure.....
but i'll take what I can get, when i can get it......anytime i see some of that royal sparkle, it makes me happy!!!
