Chandeliers

From Wallpaper* magazine's April 2010 issue (yes a year ago).  Chandelierious includes platinum, gold and diamonds jewelry from Chanel, Moussaieff, Georg Jensen, Tiffany & Co. and others.  Bracelets, rings, pendants and necklaces are displayed together to make wonderous chandeliers. 

My favorites are the Van Cleef & Arpels piece with their iconic clovers (click to next page - second image) and the the net-like 'Alphabet' pendant chains from Jacqueline Rabun (image directly below).
