Fascinating, thank you Laura. Every one who had diamonds seems to have had a necklace which belonged to Marie Antoinette!! In general I am a bit skeptical about such claims. I wonder what is said in the book on Boucheron about the emeralds? I read some where that the current necklace was constructed from 2 which Mrs Greville brought to the firm. (I recently ordered this book but it has not yet arrived as stock has to be imported) Obviously there are more Greville pearls than I had imagined. Here Mrs Greville wears some.
