As Arthur said, we will likely never know, however I do think the depiction of the jewels in the portrait is much more impressionistic than realistic. For example the line of diamonds that snakes along the top of the tiara was seemingly not depicted. And looking at the third pearl from the center on the right, it seems to be suspended from a heart instead of a circle.
