    Very little, I am afraid. I believe that the demi parure consisted of a rather grand stomacher and bracelets. I believe that, despite the depredations with respect to her collection, she still owned them when she died. they were earmarked to go to(and I may be wrong about this)Sylvia Hennessy, but was sold by Miss Hutton's lawyer for some $800,000, approximately 1/4 of it's value.

    Beyond that, I have no information, regrettably.
