I’ve been more than a little fascinated by Empress Sissi since I first saw replicas of her diamond stars on display at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. (BTW that is a totally random website, but it has the most and best pictures of the diamond stars that I could find.)
Below are a pair of earrings and a necklace from the Brumani Sissi Couture Collection, which, as you may have surmised, was inspired by the Empress Sissi.
The earrings are set with diamonds and morganite drops. They’re bold with delicate details. They’re lovely and would go wonderfully with abundant dark hair like Sissi’s.
I love the subtle wildness of the unevenly-set diamonds on the larger hoops. It’s such a wonderful contrast to the elegance of the pretty pink morganites. And those central morganite drops look like they’re articulated to tremble with the wearer’s movement.
This Brumani Sissi collection necklace is also set with morganite and diamonds. I think this set is gorgeous and it’s begging to be worn with a rich, jewel-toned gown. You can always count on attention to detail and superb craftsmanship in Brumani’s pieces.

This baby, previously owned by an unnamed Lady of title, is described by Sotheby’s as “highly important.” The V-shaped necklace is set with baguette diamonds and decorated at the front with a line of brilliant-cut stones.
