Some of them, like this one pictured, I know the designer, and it is signed on the clasp. Others in the collection are not signed. I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

I have seen this set bring as much as $250.00 U.S. dollars but I have also seen it go for as little as $75.00. Just depends on the day I guess.
Thank you so much for all your comments....It's nice to hear from you and to learn more as I go along.
Stunning demi-parure! Schiapparelli is considered one of the top of the top designers for costume jewelry collectors. Your set has those eye-popping Watermelon Aurora Borealis Crystal Stones, which are also super desirable. Lovely heirloom.
