Yesterday I wore my platinum and rock crystal, teardrop earrings with my wide, silver bracelet that belonged to my great-grandmother. Lucky me that it fits perfectly, and so fun to pair with more contemporary pieces.

This is my dream DBTY collection! She looks so elegant and chic.
Does anyone know what CBTY she is wearing?

I don’t think I have ever seen the Rock Crystal Teardrop Earrings on. They look amazing on you.
Her first DBTY was diamonds sprinkled with a YG chain. Platinum came next as I recall and then silver for CBTY for lesser stones (I have the long turquoise/pearl/diamond CBTY sprinkle necklace). So with that assumption that her necklaces in the photo are actually in YG, my guess is the dark stone is lapis lazuli, a dark blue with tiny gold flecks.
Here is an old article that talks about the original DBTY. Too bad there are not colors photos.

Can you post your CBTY necklace? It sounds lovely.
Hi! Here is my turquoise CBTY set. And I just know my big gum-ball ring would feel left out if I did not include him in this photo.

BigAkoya and AntiqueShopper, many thanks! The silver bracelet is definitely a treasured piece. And clearly, it was much loved and frequently worn by previous generations, as I received it with lots of little dings. On pieces I've purchased, less keen when that happens.
But on inherited pieces, makes me love them more!AntiqueShopper, glad you enjoyed seeing the rock crystal earrings!

Beautiful!
I thought this New York Times article from a few days ago was fun, especially as Elsa Peretti designed a number of beautiful brooches. Title notes, "The Brooch is Back, Baby". I never stopped loving them!

Oh me gosh, every item is stunning. I have never seen that necklace before it’s such a unique piece. Thanks for sharing. I love turquoise but I only have one turquoise piece so far and it’s from the Picasso collection.
You have the perfect brooch collection with your amazing starfishes!I thought this New York Times article from a few days ago was fun, especially as Elsa Peretti designed a number of beautiful brooches. Title notes, "The Brooch is Back, Baby".

Does anyone own anything from her Wave collection? I think it's so beautiful, but don't own any pieces. Would love to see modelling pics if anyone would like to share.
