I found this beautiful set in a junk shop yesterday. My heart just soared. It is amazingly striking and perfect! Can anyone tell me if the value of set would increase much if I hunt down the brooch? And if so, by how much? I am just a junker, but I KNOW true beauty when I see it, and this was definitely it. Currently I have the bib necklace, bracelet and earrings.

I think your set is already valuable but yea the brooch would definetly add some more value. Are you eventually trying to sell it ? I think its so Awesome I couldnt part with it if it was mine.
I did some research on the piece and I'm sure it's got some value, but I wasn't sure if it would be worth my while to find the brooch or just keep it a it is. Eventually I'll sell the set. I'm not a jewelry wearer, just a junker. It's way too beautiful to sit in a case in my house. someone who knows it's value and loves it and wears it should own it. I am enjoying the piece while it's with me though. It is sooooo beautiful.
This is a gorgeous set! What a great find!! This is a Delizza & Elster Juliana set. Full sets including the brooch can sell for about $1000!!!
