Dmitry is absolutely right. 1) the necklace doesn't exist anymore : the crooks who caused the "Affaire du Collier" have sold it in London quickly after the scandal erupted. The well-known picture shows evidently a copy
2) all that remains of the necklace still belong to the Sutherlands (Lady Sutherland was a very close friend for Marie Antoinette, who ever gave her several pearls before she died)
