I only advise against restyling if the original has noteworthy provenance (e.g., owned by Marlene Dietrich and you can prove it) or was made by a renowned house like Cartier. <br /><br />I do not know if the original setting was saved; that's another option: replace the diamonds with other less-costly gems and sell or give it to someone who like you, admires its huge gaudiness.<br /><br /> Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-60963799641689009602015-11-04T15:55:58.914-05:002015-11-04T15:55:58.914-05:00Ooh, I prefer the 70's original!

It's huge and gaudy, but rather gorgeous. <br /><br />The other one is much more wearable for daily use and I guess if it makes the owner happy then that's the main thing.

I would love to visit Montreal some day, again (the last visit when I was a teenager) and visit all those lovely jewelry stores along your favorite roads! In the meantime, thanks for this beautiful post.
