To Juscha,
i visited the Historische Grünes Gewölbe. I booked my ticket through Internet (14 euros!)
I entered immediately the 9 rooms without my handbag, only my ticket, a pencil and a sheet of paper for my notes.
I went into a door, who closed and waited the opening of the second door.
1-4rooms, Amber , Ivory, Silver, Vermeil . But
Room 5, the jewels I was like you in heaven.
From the top of his head (aigrettes to his Shoes square attachment,The King of Saxe wore diamonds. I saw his buttons, his diamond decorations (ea the Order of the Golden Fleece) his sword all diamonds , emeralds ,etc...
I will never forget.
I did an Elbe Cruise and had no time to visit the other Rooms on the first floor.

: Very interesting topic!
: The first time I had been in Dresden in the
: 90s we visited the Green Vault in the
: Albertinum. It was the first real royal
: "Schatzkammer" I saw and it was
: sensational. My companions, all men, my
: friend with them, were not at all interested
: in jewellery, and so I had to be very brave
: and had to concentrate at all the other
: masterpieces as the Royal Household of Dehli
: or carved cherry stone. Which were fabulous,
: indeed. And than, finally, the jewels. The
: guys were bored. I was in heaven.
: Since than I´ve seen it once again but not
: yet the reconstructed green vault.
:
: I don´t know the current exhibition. Then
: the "Garnituren", the
: "sets" of brilliants, rubies,
: emeralds and amber were shown. Which are for
: the outfit of the king as Buttons, rapiers,
: aigrettes, buckles and so on. A topic we do
: not often discuss, maybe cause piece like
: this are not worn today. That´s a pity for
: jewellery worn by the sovereign were at
: least as important for the representation as
: the pieces worn by queens or princesses. For
: example I often found metioned the jewels
: worn by Louis XIV., nothing of the jewellery
: of his queen Marie Therese.
