Thanks, Bernard!

Yes, Prince Albert was something of a genius at designing jewelry.

I love the sapphire circlet very much. It's one of my favorite jewels.

It got passed down to a daughter and then after almost disappeared from public view.

As luck would have it the V &A has it now.

Thanks, again!
