Just a legend ! --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : : Amazing! : : Three questions: : : - is that a hole, in each of the large : diamond pendants? : : I guess, you mean the part in the middle of : the pendants... No, this is the top-facette : of the pendant, but with these different : backgrounds (I guess photoshopped ones) it : looks like holes indeed. : : : - did Queen Marie-Antoinette wear it without : hooks to distribute the weight on her : earlobes? : : : Most likely we will never know how the late : French queen wore them... But maybe the : hooks were removed when the earrings were : reset in platinum by Harry Winston in 1959? : : : - what kind of cut are the pendants? These : seem not set in a silver or foil holder, are : these brilliant cut? Already in the 18th : century? : : : --Previous Message-- : Differents pictures : : : : : : : : http://geogallery.si.edu/index.php/en/1002082/marie-antoinette-diamond-earrings : : : : :
