I’ve got mine! Can’t wait to see it. I was also lucky enough to get to the Faberge and the Chanel exhibitions, so there was no way I was missing out on this one!

I am going in a few months- can’t wait!

I hope to travel to the UK later this year so this would definitely be on my list!

I’m going to Chelsea this year - so I guess I’m going to this too

I received the exhibition book for Mother’s Day this morning - it’s going to be a feast for the eyes seeing all the pieces on display!

so... who's already visited and where are the photos?

I watched a video on this exhibit--incredible!!

As I watched I asked myself "why does this 'stuff' interest me so much?" and I think it's just the sparkle of the gems and the artistry. And I could watch for hours--lucky you ladies that will be attending (envy envy). I do wish Catherine would wear the sunburst tiara; it would look so great on her dark hair.

Managed to get a ticket for a super late viewing - it’s the price of a midrange theater seat, but less chance of me falling asleep!

If this is similar to the exhibition that was in Australia a few years ago, then you will not be disappointed. One of the best and most memorable exhibitions I have been to, truly incredible pieces and history.
Hope you all enjoy!

I'd be curious to hear more reviews. I'm going to be in London in June but the trip will be very quick and I'll be pressed for time, so wondering if it's worth it...I mean is seeing jewelry in a museum case really that much more fascinating than seeing the pieces online? Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer...I was just surprised at the cost of the ticket when it's practically an advertisement for the brand.

even if you are considering going and can afford to lose money, I would book now. It was nearly sold out for my dates which are next week and I bought my tickets in early April

I was there on Thursday - it was heaving and not as well planned and organised as others I’ve been to. The jewellery is phenomenal but there are so many of us looking in small windows that it’s quite challenging. The room with the tiaras on display in separate cases is much better planned so you can see them in detail - if you saw the Faberge exhibition it has the same layout where the imperial eggs were in separate display cases and you could view them from all sides.
The area where there is a display of watches is a pinch point and probably needs rethinking - two cases on either side of a narrow walkway wasn’t great.
