Non-royal jewels at Paris' Biennale des Antiquaires (but worth a royal jewel box...) Archived Message

Though they are not, strictly speaking, royal jewels (and are therefore off topic on this board), I can't refrain myself from sharing with you pictures of the gorgeous jewels I could see at the Biennale des Antiquaires last week - I hope all these glittering carats will help our dear board's administrator to be lenient! These are of course a very personal selection, among a very large bunch of great jewels. On Monaco's Véronique Bamps's stand: - a beautiful antique diamond necklace, with matching earrings, which had been already dsplayed by Véronique Bamps in the previous Biennale (the beautiful enamel and diamond brooch in the background comes from the estate of Elsa Schiaparelli): - a lovely diamond necklace in millegrain setting: - a selection of brooches by Van Cleef and Arpels, set in "mysterious setting": On Kortrijk's (Belgium) Antique Fine Jewels' stand: - a beautiful diamond jewel, by Cartier (not sure if it is a bracelet or a choker, or a tiara in bandeau style...): - a sapphire, emerald and diamond bird brooch, by Cartier: - two butterfly brooches (the sapphire one by Joseph Nivelon, the emerald one by Georges Fouquet): - a tutti frutti necklace by Van Cleef and Arpels: - bracelet and brooches in tutti frutti style, by Mauboussin and Cartier: - an impressive pair of diamond chandelier earrings: - but my absolute favorite is this huge (19 cms long!) ruby, diamond and peridot corsage brooch, which can be divided into four smaller brooches. It is an absolute beauty... and really fit for a Queen!
