This picture could give an impression, how the Comtesse de Paris' parure could look (of course, here it's black silver [Edit: and opals instead of turquoises]..., but though), I think it looks quite attractive. Might the parure have been used during periods of half-mourning? http://www.langantiques.com/web/assets/images/inventory/50-1-1694.jpg --Previous Message-- : I don't think there's ever been a coloured : picture of this parure ! : : --Previous Message-- : I am not sure I like it. As I understand the : description, the set is made of black enamel : with turquoises and pearls. A very peculiar : colour combination...
