Taking into account that the rarely worn earrings of the Brazilian parure are surprisingly simple as well (see below), it might be wrong indeed to expect the necklace to be very ornate; as you said, one of the rivières remains the most likely solution here. --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Maybe the matching necklace left the main : line : at some point and was subsequently auctioned : off? I doubt that it is one of the rivières : as they are not "matching" in : design.
