Pearl and Enamel Demi-Parure, Circa 1860 | 珍珠 配 琺瑯彩 胸針/吊墜 及 耳墜套裝, 約1890年

This demi-parure is a classic example of a jewel from the 1860s, with its original fitted case. These suites of brooch and earrings, with the brooch often also worn as a pendant, gained popularity instead of big parures. The star motif was well loved during the era frequently decorated with pearls and blue enamel. Similar examples can be found in the Nineteenth Century Jewellery book by Peter Hinks (illustrations 28 and 29b).

此首飾套裝附原裝盒，別針可轉換成吊墜，是1860年代的經典珠寶作例。彼時，這種別針及耳環首飾套裝比大型首飾套裝更獲大眾青睞。星形圖案首飾廣受時人歡迎，這類珠寶常以珍珠及藍色琺瑯彩作點綴，本作亦為一例。其他類例可見於Peter Hinks撰寫的《十九世紀珠寶》（載圖28及29b）。
