Calamity's Corner is four years old this month. Congratulations
to Calamity for putting together such an informative, bright and interesting
journal each month.
Maggi Anderson, Australian writer, is Writer of the Month.
Her article, The Fabulous Georgian Years
which should make everyone sit down and write a Regency. Maggi's latest novel
is The Reluctant Marquess.
Maggi says in her article that garnets were the most popular
jewellery of the Regency. The Georgian era was when the wealthy and not so wealthy
aristocratic society made their feeling known by giving fabulous jewels to
their mistresses and lovers.
The garnet was the most desirable jewel of the time. They were made popular by Lady Emma Hamilton, Lord Nelson's mistress.
