Somebody needs to go so the rest of us can live vicariously.

I'll be going sometime in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to take pics if they allow it and post them here!

I envy you, Rosetta. It's just amazing! The emerald watch, well, words I can think of are too trite, what a gorgeous piece of design & engineering & jeweler's skill. Wish they'd told how big it is.

Why hasn't this been displayed before? Displayed over & over! Wish it would travel to the Colonies.

Oh my God that's amazing. That would be my dream come true to find a hoard of jewelry like that.
Amazing work.

Yay, rosetta
I was hoping one of our Brit PS'ers would make it.
Can't wait to see your photos.
