breathtaking!!! Especially the amethysts. These look like they could be in a museum! Any more modeling pics?

So pretty! Where does one shop for nice antique jewelry?

I will search online and auction houses but these pieces came from a local antique jeweler. I had never seen a cannetille parure before and a web search since has shown how rare these sets are, so I appreciate my good fortune.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I am very lucky to have a hubby that not only enjoys me wearing jewellery but is happy to participate (to a degree!) in the hunt. He is actually the one who found the parure online and made an appointment for me to try it on.

I will get some photos of the various ways the set can be worn and upload them tonight! Thanks for the interest!!

Both gifts are absolutely stunning! It is rare to see museum quality pieces such as these in this day and age - everything is so cookie-cutter, or dictated by the trend of the moment (guilty! :shame thank you for sharing your new treasures!
