    Yes this jeweler is a font of knowledge, so appreciated. But the real stars of the gem pieces are the relatives who acquired these pieces. Oh my what taste and fortuitous purchases. Try finding such gems today, nearly impossible. Thx so much for bringing them to light.

      The gem stones themselves are available today, but try to find the same workmanship would be extremely rare and expensive.

      But he did simpify the fourth item(s).
      That was a demi parure.
      A complete one would consist of earrings, necklace, bracelet(s), ring(s), brooch(es), and likely a tiara...
      Barbara Hutton style.

    • @Francisnotcis
      @Francisnotcis 5 дней назад

      Even in the 30s? Is fine silver 100% silver as opposed to the 92.5%?
      Sorry to pick your ear, I used to be a jewellery store clerk (just in a mass produced/chain store) so always find this kind of thing very interesting as I would have always rather worked in a boutique or antique jewellers.

    • @jcsinca3387
      @jcsinca3387 2 дня назад

      Africans had all of this and still do, they sell it, just like they sold their own people. Look at South Africa, now free from the tyranny of Apartheid and white rule only to become a complete failure. They had FOURTY YEARS of black rule in South Africa AFTER they threw out the whites and it is only worse off than it was in the 80s now. Were blacks exploited and subjugated? Yes, but they also cannot seem to govern themselves properly when left to their own means. Kind of like Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, and all of Africa and even many cities in America they all said they were being exploited by the Whites but when they evict the whites and govern themselves, they got less or worse. Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss.
      What was the name of that successful black ruled country that has no white involvement? Yeah, no such thing. If Black ruled African nations were so great then American blacks would be fleeing to Africa and that has NEVER happened. Well, there was Liberia and that also failed.
