Re: So much more impressive

I found the story of a hidden treasure in a somewhat obscure collection more interesting than the jewellery. The close up images do better justice to the intricate pieces, although in my opinion the parure remains rather peculiar. I'm not particularly fond of the combination of rich gold and gemstones which was so fashionable in the 3rd quarter of the 19th century, but what I find quite remarkable in this case is the use of gilded material for such a prestigious suite.
