    I much prefer the bandeau (which is a very beautiful piece) worn without a necklace. Wouldn't like to see it mirrored in one way or the other... The earrings seem to be beautiful and the stones look quite substantial. From a practical point of view I'm rather surprised though about an acquisition which is so similar in shape/size/colour to the wedding earrings.
