Juvelerne I det Danske kongehus

This book is about the jewels in the collection of the Danish royal family. It's said it is mere a photo book, and in Danish. The subject where it concerns on is most interesting I think.  Does anyone of you own this book and is it worth buying it ?

I own this book and it's a really nice one. I don't read Danish but the pictures are gorgeous and you can muddle your way around enough to know what they're talking about--even if the experience would be richer if you could pick up on the tidbits! Bjarne Jensen posts on other message boards and he's VERY 'in the know' and just full of interesting insights.

Hello Luc,

I have this book. The book is your money worth. The pictures are very sharp. I don't know if you are interested in the family or the juwels, but there is also an Italian book about the Jewels of the House of Savoy by Princess Gabriella de Savoy.

Thank you GDella and Teddy for your replies ! I'm interested in both the jewelry and the family.
Could you give any examples of the jewels that are described in the book ?
