  • Wow, how interesting and charming surprise.

    We were discussing this very necklace a couple of days ago with other members and thought that new owners must for sure be happy with their new purchases.

    This one is beautiful and i must confess i have bid against you at some stage or another. Were you in the room?

    Looking forward to see your other finds.

    Congrats

  • Oh Bianca, Like Alaa already wrote, this piece was on discussion, and look you got it.  Still in the family anyhow.  How far do you people travel to get such interesting items.  Real far going collectors. It is fun though, did you make it a good day while being in Paris especially after this find?

    Congratulations, Ingrid.

  • Mind-blowingly fabulous. Congratulations Bianca! I'm guessing you were the lucky winner of the necklace at the Drouot auction last week? It's wonderful that a necklace such as this will grace your substantial collection.

  • Yes, I went to Paris on purpose from Lecco (Lake Como), for this auction, and I bought some interesting pieces. You were also in the room?

  • Good for you. I live in Paris actually so i was there as well with some friends.
    It would have been nice to meet with you.
    Anyway very nice buys and congratulations. The sale was very entertaining with a nice selection.
  • Congratulations on an absolutely fabulous necklace!!

  • Dear Bianca; This is a stunning necklace indeed. Congratulations. Peter
