I really don't know about that one. I will cross refernce with the 1909 Inventory, but believe that the pearl/rope brooch was a private jewel and the inventory I have is of jewels from rthe Treasury in the possession of the Dowager Empress and updated after 1914, possibly at the time of the Revolution. I will see what my various resources have to say about the pearl brooch.Somewhere in the corners of my mind is a detail, or a photo, that seems relevant, but I can't quite remember. When I do, i will post something.
