Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration
Hi Dolores Delargo. Thanks for this great post with very nice photos of some of the Queen's diamonds. Seeing as you enjoy this sort of thing (which is my absolute passion), you might also enjoy my very unique blog on Barbie doll scale Crown Jewelry and Tiaras worn by doll royalty. Your input would be greatly appreciated. http://daniel-s-world.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice to have a great, big group of girls give you a nice, dressy tiara? Although, come to think of it, a great, big group of boys did once give me a pearl necklace. But that's another story...
