The Royal Jewels

Author: Suzy Menkes
Stars: 5
Review by: MApgar

An examination of the various jewels and pieces held by the British royal family, in addition to a sort of structural history of some of them - what kinds of stones are they, where were they found in what mine, how do the attributes affect the settings, things like that. So at a few times it isn't all just pretty, shiny things. And of course there is a good portion of the history along with it, as it is organized into Victoria, Alexandra, Mary, Wallis Simpson, The Queen Mother, Elizabeth II, and Diana.
