A stunning early Victorian parure. This three-piece suite features a matching set of necklace, earrings, and brooch. This parure is exquisitely ornate, made in a style emblematic of the early Victorian period, when inspiration came from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The bright, pale green peridot contrasts wonderfully with the rich yellow gold setting of this parure. The chain is detailed, and the settings of the peridot on the necklace, earrings, and brooch are regal and ornamental. All pieces in this set can be worn together for a dramatic and sumptuous look, or each piece can be donned separately.
