The marquise of Chaponay is a "feminine-line" descendant of Stephanie GD of Baden and so the necklace passed on to her, the mother having bequeathed it to her daughter in each generation. And the marquise is a first cousin of King Leopold father of GD Josephine Charlotte. There is the connection but not by the last GD of Baden.
