Wonderful, the warm shades of red are a joy to look at, Peter! Thanks for sharing.
Would she have worn all of the set at the same time, or were some of these swapped out so that it could be worn in different arrangements?
Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your message. Well, I was thinking exactly the same when I displayed the items at my home and took the photos. This question is especially valid with regards to the two silver hair ornament sets. Hence, I will ask the dealer the next time. It is not the amount of silver that worries me, it is the fact that each set has a very strong and rather thick cord attached, which will had to be woven or fixed somehow into the hair. I will find out and let you know. With kind regards. Peter
