Thank you Vincent for your always precious pieces of information and contributions to clarify our doubts about the origin and whereabouts of some jewels.
I am a great fan of yours and I bought all your books about the famous jewellers as Boucheron, Mellerio and Van Cleef & Arpels, as well as "Bijoux de Reines". Thanks.
