    Believe it or not, but I bought this parure as a set at a flea market. But it was not in this form when I bought it! The necklace consisted of just some loose beads in a bag, the bracelet was in desperate need of a new string...only the earclips where ok. So I think I payed 2€ for the set. A real bargain.
    I did some oneline research for similar necklaces, et voila, a whole new parure!
    It dates from the thirties, its made from cornu= horn, I m not sure where it was made or what type of animal the horn is from....so if you can help me fill in the blanks, I would really appreciate it!
    I must say I haven t worn it since, so thats a bit of a shame...might put it on more now ;-)

      Great job! Interesting to see if someone here will know from the photos what animal the horn is from.

      Great find and re-do!
      I think it is bull/cow horn, as this:
