    In the picture posted by Manuel, the bracelet appeared to be made of amethysts, matching the smaller stones in the necklace. And I cannot remember this bracelet from other occasions?

    However, you might be correct, Bryce, that it is a separate piece, and not part of the demi-parure. It would probably have included turquoise if it was part of the parure.
