I like these but was looking at the set to get a necklace out of it. I will show you pieces I like and saw and would only be willing to find one or two of those for myself. I had them years ago and sold them by mistake thinking I could get them again. I had them from my trip also and sold them thinking I would go back again sooner and didn't. I'm not sure I have clients that would pay me a profit on these or not.. I have few buying this category and the ones that are are spending for headdresses and necklaces and so forth but not things like this. I have one client that is only looking for either Jewish worn and or gold and or very old like 18th c versions of this stuff. I saw it when i was there, not out in any stores so maybe it's available yet .. There was an incredible crown that came up for sale recently in London and that was a really beautiful piece along with several other show stoppers. that stuff was worth the big bucks and I thought the headdress of pearls was a steal. I had recommended it to a museum and hope they got it.
I think for myself I will try and find original ones because I would rather have that but for selling I think some people don't care as much and could use parts as I do for earrings. I will show you some things I have liked in books and maybe since you're there all the time you might see something.
