♥~♥ ♥~♥Spectacular gems - Queen's private collection ♥~♥ Jubilee diamonds: Spectacular gems from the Queen's private collection go on display at Buckingham Palace It is the most valuable – and glittering - exhibition ever created at Buckingham Palace. Ten thousand priceless diamonds on display, many for the first time ever, to mark the Queen's Jubilee. From the diminutive diamond crown worn by Queen Victoria throughout her widowhood, to the breath-taking Coronation Necklace, featuring a staggering 22.48 carat pendant, the exhibition features some of the most spectacular pieces from the monarch's private collection. Diamond Jubilee: A Jubilee Celebration exhibition which forms part of the summer opening of Buckingham Palace includes more than 10,000 diamonds set in works acquired by six monarchs over three centuries Sparkling: The Diamond Diadem Tiara, worn by The Queen on British and Commonwealth stamps, which also features on some issues of coinage and bank notes Queen Victoria's Fringe Brooch is hung at the Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace I'm a fan: A diamond-set Coronation Fan, made for Queen Alexandra at the time of the coronation in 1902, part of the 'Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration' exhibition Each of the 21 hand-picked items on display also has a fascinating history behind it, such as the iconic diadem worn by the Queen for the state opening of parliament and on our postage stamps. Set with 1,333 brilliant-cut diamonds, including a four-carat pale yellow brilliant, the piece was actually made for the famously extravagant coronation of George IV in 1821.   It cost the king an eye-watering £8,000 – more than £815,000 today (although the provenance of the items means it will be worth many times more) – but in the event could not even be seen over his gaudy plumed hat. Although created for a man, its feminine appearance so much appealed to his wife, Queen Adelaide, that she borrowed it on a rather more permanent basis. Royal collection: Caroline de Guitaut, Curator of Royal Collections, holds the Delhi Durbar Tiara, which was loaned to the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005 What a gem: Many items from the Queen's personal collection join those chosen for their artistic significance and historical importance for the exhibition Impressive: A vitrine containing Queen Mary's Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara at Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace in London Diamond encrusted: A table snuff box owned by Frederick the Great of Prussia, incorporating nearly 3,000 diamonds, which was purchased by Queen Mary in 1932 Coronation: The Coronation Necklace is among the pieces set to go on display at Buckingham Palace as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations As a result it was handed down female members of the family from Queen Victoria to Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and then to our present Queen who wore it on the journey to and from her own coronation. Queen Victoria's dazzling Fringe Brooch, which has never been displayed in public before, includes two impressive jewels presented to the Queen by the Sultan of Turkey. It contains a large, emerald-cut central stone and nine graduated pave-set chains suspended from an outer row of 12 large, brilliant-cut diamonds and was last seen being worn by the Queen, appropriately, for a state banquet in honour of the President of Turkey last year. The Dehli Durbar Tiara was made in 1911 for Queen Mary to wear to a spectacular ceremonial gathering in India in 1911, paying homage to the new King George V. It was referred to by the king as 'May's best tiara'. This, too, has never been displayed in public before and feature an exquisite tall circlet of lyres and s-scrolls linked by festoons of rose and brilliant-cut diamonds. In 2005 the queen loaned it to her new daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, who has worn it in public numerous times since. But perhaps the most charming item on display is the exquisite miniature crown measuring just under four inches across and weighing five ounces to wear that Queen Victoria had made in 1870 while in mourning for her beloved husband, Albert. Due to her grief she found it impossible to wear her favourite coloured jewels that she so associated with happier times. The crown, although still beautiful, was considered 'modest' but perfect for formal occasions and was usually worn over her famous veil of Honiton lace. The monarch recorded her first wearing of it to the state opening of parliament on February 9 1871, saying; 'Wore a dress trimmed with ermine & my new small diamond crown over a veil, on my head.' The crown was also placed on her coffin as her body was transported from Osborne on the Isle of Wight to London for her state funeral in February 1901. Curator Caroline de Guitaut, said; 'Diamonds have always been associated with longevity and endurance which make them a fitting tribute to the Queen in her jubilee year. 'The exhibition shows how over the past three centuries monarchs have used diamonds to display magnificence, whether in personal adornment or as a statement of power.' Diamonds: A Jubilee celebration runs at Buckingham Palace from Saturday until October 7.

Khuda Ne Jab Aapko Yahan Pe Utara Hoga

Khuda Ne Jab Aapko Yahaan Pe Utara Hoga,
Bahut Dard Se Wo Khud Ko Guzara Hoga,

Jo Dekha Hai Wo Hairan Hai Ki Ye Tasveer Kiski Hai,
Chalogi Jiske Tum Humraah Hansi Takdeer Kiski Hai,

Patjhad Mein Aapse Baharon Ka Nazara Hoga,
Suraj Bhi Nazarein Chura Le Aisi Roshani Hai Aap Mein,

Chand Bhi Sar Jhuka Le Aisi Chandni Hai Aap Mein,
Aapke Sath Ho Koi Ye Kismat Ka Sahara Hoga,

Masum Surat Dekh Ke Phool Bhi Sharma Jate Hai,
Aapke Kadmon Mein Wo Khud Ko Bikhra Jate Hai,

Unke Liye Kadam Aapka Jannat Ka Kinara Hoga,
Khuda Ne Jab Aapko Yahan Pe Utara Hoga.

Abhi toh haath mein jaam hai
Tohba kitna kaam hai
Kabhi mili fursat toh 
Bhai dekha jayega
Duniya ke baarey mein  Socha jayega

Maine Apne Hadso Ko Khud Mein Chupa Liya,
Bayan Jise Kiya Usi Ne Rula Diya,

Jin Ghazlon Ko Hum Apni Samajhte The,
Dekho Bewafa Ne Unhe Bhi Chura Liya,

Koi Ghum Nahi Koi Ranja Nahi Hai,
Jana Tha Usko So Chala Gaya.

Week in pictures 06/07/12

This week's picture retrospective includes a dazzling laser show, 

a Tower Bridge doppelganger and the world's biggest pothole.

 

1. I've got you in my sights: A rider prepares to fire an arrow during the Ongkor Festival, 

or Bumper Harvest Festival, which is celebrated every year by farmers in Tibet who pray 

for a good harvest of crops.

 

2. Think we're going to need a stronger detergent to get these clean: Participants taking part in the 2nd Swamp Soccer 

World Championships which were held in Beijing, China. A total of 32 teams from firms and government agencies took part.

 

3. A polar bear emerges after swimming underwater to snaffle a fish at Hagenbeck Zoo's new Arctic Ocean attraction in Hamburg.

 

4. Think the potholes in Britain are bad? This sinkhole suddenly appeared on a main road in Changsha, China. T

he street has now been blocked off and engineers are working out how to fill it in. It is still not clear what caused it.

 

5. These two teenagers travelled to their school prom in Barbie doll boxes. 

The plywood and perspex boxes came complete with Mattel branding. 

The pair travelled to the prom on the back of a flat-bed trailer.

 

6. Mine's a pint: Barack Obama enjoys a beer with Jennifer Klanac at Ziggy's Pub in Amherst, Ohio,

during a break from a two-day campaign tour.

 

7. Team Saxo Bank rider Jonathan Cantwell of Australia lies on the ground after a fall during the 

fifth stage of the 99th Tour de France cycling race between Rouen and Saint-Quentin.

8. Look familiar? A Chinese developer has built a replica Tower Bridge in Suzhou, China. 

But, obviously not content with having just one bridge, the developers have doubled up. 

The top floor of the construction boasts a coffee shop called Tower Bridge Coffee - promising 'English' style coffee. 

 

9. Russian swimmers perform an underwater ballet at an aquarium in Fuzhou, China.

 

10. Getting in the Wimbledon spirit: Harry the hermit crab holds a miniature Lego tennis racquet in his home at LEGOLAND.

 

11. A laser show projected from the Shard skyscraper on the South Bank, London, 

seen from Parliament Hill, marking the completion of the exterior of the building.

 

12. Look at the size of that one! A man has discovered an enormous 7kg mushroom in the forest behind his house in Changning, China.

 

13. Covered in mud, jockey Enrique Alonzo Gonzalez pulls on the reins after riding 

Finally Kruisin to a fourth place finish at the Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, Canada.

 

14. Armed police surround a coach on the M6 toll road after reports that a passenger on board had been seen

 'pouring liquid into a smoking bag'. After 16 fire crews, 24 armed police as well as sniffer dogs turned up it 

transpired that a man on board had simply been using an electronic cigarette.
