The Royal Jewels

By Jillian Parsons

Yes, I indeed went to the Victoria and Albert Museum a total of four times while I was in London. During the trip I indeed did recommend the V&A to a total of four cohorts. And I did indeed walk through the V&A’s superb gift shop a total of four times. The V&A had many collections surrounding textiles, fashion, and jewelry. The jewel collection at the V&A was jaw-dropping especially since it definitely was an accumulation of millions of dollars. The exhibit of the jewels allowed me to be a child in a candy shop. The picture that shows the circle was a diagram of gems, and classified by type of jewels. The inner-circle was diamonds and it led to as far as pearls. The exhibit consisted of crowns, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and even brooches. In the exhibit, Queen Victoria, wife to Prince Albert, displayed her famous crown of Sapphires and diamonds. The crown is only a small portion of all of the remarkable history of jewels within the assortment. The jewels located in The V&A is another grand, and precious collection that the museums located in London highlight. Overall, the V&A is a 10/10 museum. And I agree with Mary– it is the best museum gift shop.
