Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration (Souvenir Album)

The jewels are beautiful. The settings are fabulous. I have always appreciated the jewels worn by Her Majesty the Queen and how they can be put together in many different combinations. Stones may be removed fron one piece and easily replaced with other gems. Tiaras become necklaces or headbands, etc. I love their versatility. The photographs are marvelous and the detail shown is amazing. I have one little quibble: a photograph is attibuted to Antony Armstrong Jones, b. 1893. He was born in 1930. I also wish there had been descriptions of the emeralds and rubies, etc. shown in the detailed enlargements. Only the diamonds were described. All in all, a very beautiful book and well worth the price.

If you cant afford the really expensive book about Royal diamonds and jewelry, this is a really good option.Beautiful photos and very nice , informative text. Also, a manageable size, not so big & heavy like coffee table books.Really nice reading.

I bought used and it was in great shape and was delivered promptly (was not eligible for Prime).A wonderful book with beautiful pictures and detailed history on the pieces featured within. Would recommend.

Personal interest

Super interesting. quick shipping.

It was just what I ordered. I like it.

I needed this to round out my collection, this was in perfect condition.

It’s not coffee table sized, but it’s really a nice book. Great pics and facts about the pieces.

I wanted a book showing some of the royal jewellery as it is so beautiful. This book captures the detail and quality of the pieces really well and gives you a bit of history regarding the origin. What this book lacks though is details regarding the quality of the diamonds and the weights (although it does mention weight occasionally it isn't for the whole piece). I wouls love you know whether the diamonds are all flawless - I'd assume so but are they? These are the sorts of things this book doesn't tell you. I know it's a companion to the tour of the jewels but I'd still want to know what they would cost to make today etc just for fun. Despite this, it's a really nice book.

If you love jewellery and the sparkle of diamonds this book is for you! Lots of information on the pieces accompanied by stunning photographs.

Little thin on the writing side, but amazing photos, that show that these days with the right lighting and cameras and printing you can actually show off jewellery to its best.The jewels come to life, and you can see the settings as well which is unusual.Very interesting.

A beautifully presented book the topic sparkles

Love this little book, my only complaint is it really smells musty and some pages are a bit yellow.
