FIND LUXURY VINTAGE JEWELRY NOW AT ARTWEARS TODAY . FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SAW THIS LISTING PREVIOUSLY- THERE ARE 2 CHOICES FOR THE BROOCH. ONE IS THE BUTTERFLY PICTURED BELOW. THE OTHER BROOCH IS JUST LIKE THE LARGE RING, EXCEPT IT IS BIGGER, REALLY LARGE. I WILL LET THE BUYER DECIDE WHICH BROOCH TO PICK. ******************** VINTAGE PANETTA PARURE IN PURPLE, BLACK ENAMEL AND DIAMANTE IS A COLLECTOR'S DREAM FOR LOVERS OF THE FINEST VINTAGE JEWELRY. THIS SIX PIECE GROUP OF NECKLACE, BRACELET, RING, BUTTERFLY BROOCH AND EARRINGS ARE MUSEUM WORTHY, ALL PIECES NEAR MINT AND ALL ARE SIGNED. THE FINEST ARTISANS SPENT MANY HOURS SETTING THE STONES IN THESE JEWELS. EACH STONE WAS HAND SET EITHER IN PAVE CRYSTALS OR WITH PRONGS JUST LIKE THE BEST FINE JEWELRY. PANETTA JEWELRY HAD TO LOOK REAL OR IT NEVER LEFT THE WORKSHOP. PANETTA'S FORMER FAME AS A DESIGNER OF PLATINUM JEWELRY GAVE HIM THE KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES. ONE OF MY GOALS AS A VINTAGE JEWELRY COLLECTOR AND SPECIALIST IS TO BRING YOU MATCHED SETS, OR PARURES OF JEWELRY. I BUY ONE ITEM AT A TIME ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE REMAINING PIECES. THIS PARTICULAR PARURE TOOK ABOUT 14 MONTHS TO COLLECT. LET'S START WITH HUGE TRIPLE PEARL STRAND NECKLACE WITH PURPLE ART GLASS STONE IN A PEAR SHAPE. THE CENTRAL DROP IS ABOUT 1 1/2" LONG WITH THE PURPLE CRYSTAL TAKING UP MOST OF THE SPACE. IT SCREAMS "TAKE ME TO THE OPERA". IT IS SURROUNDED BY CLEAR CRYSTAL PAVE AND BLACK ENAMEL. THE PURPLE DOME RING IS EVEN LARGER AND MADE WITH STERLING SHANK. THIS RING LIFTS OFF THE FINGER MORE THAN 1". DRAMATIC OVAL FACETED AMETHYST COLORED CENTER STONE FRAMED WITH SMALLER PURPLE ART GLASS AND PAVE CRYSTAL. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL PANETTA BLACK TAG ATTACHED. THE PURPLE AND DIAMANTE LINK BRACELET HAS A GOOD BOX CLASP AND IS ABOUT 7 1/2" LONG WITH SUPPLE FLEXIBILITY AND A HEAVY WEIGHT. THE EARRINGS ARE A GENTLE CURVE OF CRYSTALS AND BLACK ENAMEL WITH MATCHES THE BLACK ENAMEL FOUND ON THE OTHER PIECES AS AN ACCENT COLOR. THE BUTTERFLY BROOCH IS 1 7/8' BY 1 7/8" WITH A SUMPTUOUS DISPLAY OF PURPLE GLASS AND PAVE CRYSTALS. IT IS VERY DIMENSIONAL WITH CURVED WING TIPS, GREEN EYES PEARLS ON THE ANTENNAE TIPS. THIS PANETTA JEWELRY WAS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR ITS TIME. IN THE 1970'S AND 1980'S SAK'S FITH AVENUE STORES SOLD PANETTA PIECES IN THE $100 TO $500 RANGE FOR INDIVIDUAL PIECES AND PRODUCTION WAS SMALL COMPARED TO OTHER MAJOR DESIGNERS OF THE TIME. THIS MEANS THAT THIS PAURE IF PURCHASED IN THE 1980'S WOULD HAVE COST AROUND $1000! MANY WOMEN, NOW AND THEN, WEAR PANETTA JEWELRY ALONE OR WITH THEIR PRECIOUS METAL JEWELRY BECAUSE THE LOOK IS EQUAL IN DESIGN AN METICULOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP. BESIDES ITS STUNNING BEAUTY, THIS PARURE IS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR FUTURE INCREASE IN WORTH. I WILL SHIP THIS BEAUTIFUL JEWELRY IN A PRESENTATION BOX BY PRIORITY OR FIRST CLASS MAIL WITH INSURANCE TO YOU FROM HAWAII. PLEASE ALLOW A FEW EXTRA DAYS FROM THIS DESTINATION. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. AS SOON AS PAYMENT IS MADE I WILL GIVE YOU FEEDBACK AND I ASK THAT YOU DO THE SAME AFTER RECEIVING YOUR ITEM. NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO INVEST IN QUALITY VINTAGE JEWELRY. THE PRICE OF GOLD HAS REACHED BEYOND THE GRASP OF MOST JEWELRY LOVERS AND FINE GEMSTONES ARE EQUALLY EXPENSIVE. LOOK IN ALL THE CURRENT FASHION MAGAZINES AND YOU WILL SEE THIS YEAR'S TREND OF LARGE, NON PRECIOUS JEWELRY USED BY ALL OF THE TOP EUROPEAN COUTURE DESIGNERS. IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES WE STILL WANT TO WEAR BEAUTIFUL JEWELRY AND FINE VINTAGE, ESPECIALLY SIGNED VINTAGE JEWELRY IS THE IDEAL CHOICE FOR SOPHISTICATED WOMEN. THINK ABOUT GOING TO YOUR FAVORITE UPSCALE DEPARTMENT STORE OR BOUTIQUE AND LOOKING AT THE NON PRECIOUS FASHION JEWELRY. LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND COMPARE VALUES. IT IS EASY TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON PRODUCTION JEWELRY WHICH IS MADE OUTSIDE THE U.S. THE BEST SIGNED VINTAGE JEWELRY OFTEN COMES FROM THE U.S. WHERE IT WAS CAREFULLY PRODUCED IN LIMITED QUA... read more
