Hi Carol:

    Most of the jewelry that I know of that is considered high-end is
    Schiaparelli. The company was started by Elsa Schiaparelli in the
    early 1920's. I would say that a lot of the high end jewelry would
    qualify with names like: YSL, Christian Dior, Chanel, and
    Schiaparelli. 

    I have seen Schiaparelli brooches retail for $150.00 and up. If you
    want a demi-parure then the price could be as much as $350-400 and
    up. 

    At lot of times I think you are just paying for a name. A lot of
    people like to say "Oh I own a Schiap, or I own a pair of Chanel
    earrings." I think the name has a lot to do with it. 

    What is your opinion on this Orchidians??
