She looks lovely in lace ... wearing this fabulously femme creation with deep violet diamond-shaped amethysts accented by soft robin's egg turquoise ... Ricardo Salas for MATL, of course! Bold post earrings and a chunky ring make the vision complete, drawing envious stares and murmurs of “You look mah-velous!” rippling round the room. Despite the design's intricate delicacy, massive pyramid cut amethysts keep the necklace from being too “sweet,” making the piece strong and memorable instead; bold earrings and ring with their outspoken colors enhance the look of feminine authority. Terrific worn as a set, the pieces hold their own individually. Wonderful combination for collectors - picks up any look or occasion with a happy pop!
