Why You’ll Love It
A magnificent miniature interpretation of historic French royal jewelry, this 1:12 scale parure by Dutch artisan Sun Lemmens is inspired by the celebrated ruby and diamond jewels created for the Duchess of Angoulême in the early 19th century. The complete suite includes an ornate tiara, matching collar necklace, elaborate bodice brooch, and a pair of remarkably tiny drop earrings, all rendered in silver-tone metal with brilliant clear crystals and rich ruby-red stones. Arranged on its deep blue display platform, the set has the presence of a miniature museum exhibit while remaining wearable by a beloved dollhouse doll.
Perfect for
French palace interiors, Regency and Empire-era scenes, royal dressing rooms, museum-style displays, grand doll presentations, or collectors of exceptional artisan miniature jewelry.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
