Dear Fellow Orchidites-

    We've just returned from attending the re-opening of the V&A's new
    jewelry exhibition. 

    http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/fashion/features/jewellery 

    With the donation of Patricia Goldstein's collection (aptly named
    New York dealer & collector) they've re-designed their famous
    jewelry gallery to exhibit their 3,500 piece collection. 

    With the aid of a magnifying glass and a sketch book I spent the
    better part of the day there. And plan to return again next week. 

    It is, by far, the greatest museum collection of jewelry in the
    world. I will not attempt to describe the emotional roller-coaster
    ride that I (and you) will experience. Just jack up the credit card,
    go to London and prepare for an epiphany. 

    My advice is to visit the museum early on a week-day morning to
    avoid the crush. It is an intimate setting and you'll want time and
    elbow room to appreciate the lot. 

Cheers. Kim.
