Exuberant parure necklace earrings brooch interchangable parts 34+ crts diamonds

Here we have what we call in our trade a "parure". A parure is a matching set of jewellery, meant to be worn together. This particular set of earrings and necklace with a pendant changeable into an independent piece truly seems to be bejewelled by a force of nature, which will make you as enticing as a divine nymph.

With a swirl of 18K yellow gold branches, this exuberant Dutch Estate necklace alights its azure-set 275 brilliant cut diamonds of a total of over 34 carats sprouting from an 18K white gold bloom, flower bud and leaf veins effortlessly around your neck. Not to mention the two petal-shaped earclips with each 61 brilliants in an overall recurring pattern of horizontal and vertical pierced white gold millegrain rims, that are meant to be whisked to your ears by a spring breeze.

Especially to fit your every need, the tremendous floret of this striking set from 1990 can be picked from its sprig to wear it as a brooch or separately as a pendant on a twisted silk cord in the colour of your choice. The possibility not to just flaunt your exquisite style but also to have fun with dressing up and anticipating your moment of shine is offered by the assortment of the eight silk strings, each in a different colour: there's black, silver, metallic, navy blue, apple green, cinnamon and chocolate brown to play with.
