Like Nellie, I also believe HM's collection must run in the high hundreds. There must also be a large number of brooches that have languished in the vaults for ages that haven't seen the light of day. A perfect example is the brooch containing the gifted diamonds from South Africa that has popped up. I would be ecstatic if one day there were a book written containing pictures and histories of HM's collection!
