Thank you for this photo. It is a beautiful necklace. The Queen seemed to favour pearls. Because of your comment, I have tried to imagine the lustre in my mind. Do you recollect the colour of the overtones in this set of pearls, Arthur? --Previous Message-- : Martin du Daffoy also displays this beautiful : necklace, made of two rows of large and : slightly irregular natural pearls, which has : belonged to Queen Elena of Italy (1873-1952, : née Princess of Montenegro, and wife of King : Victor-Emmanuel III of Italy). : Unfortunately, I do not have found pictures : of Queen Elena wearing this necklace. : : My pictures of this necklace are : unfortunately rather poor, as the reflect of : the display window annihilates the beautiful : lustre of these pearls. It is really more : beautiful in real! : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hello, : : I went to the Biennale yesterday. It was a : delight for the eyes, in all the sections of : the Biennale (jewellery, but also furniture, : paintings, sculptures...), and also a : considerable frustration (why on earth was I : not born a billionaire, to be able to : purchase so beautiful things? ) : : Several exhibitors allowed visitors to take : pictures, while others did not. : : Regarding jewellery, I tend to agree with : Lorenzo’s opinion. Cartier’s stand was very : interesting, but as for the style of the : jewels, my favour goes without hesitation to : Martin du Daffoy (a jewel retailer, who : sells jewels from the 18th, 19th and early : 20th centuries – so a very classical style). : Of course, this is just a matter of personal : taste. : : Several royal or aristocratic jewels are on : display at this Biennale, for each of which : I will dedicate a post in response to the : present post. : : : --Previous Message-- : This is not the best pieces I've seen !! : Many : royal jewels like empress Eugénie diamond : and rubis necklace-tiara, the gorgeous : diamond and sapphire necklace of the duchess : of Segovia, a double row of natural pearl : once belonging to queen Elena of Italy, the : Cartier snake bracelet of princess Mathilde, : an indian engraved 150 carats emerald or the : beautiful calcedony set of Wallis and so : many more that were much more beautiful than : the new Cartier tiara though the pearl is : gorgeous ! : : --Previous Message-- : I am hoping that some posters might be able : to : go to (or have been to) the Paris Biennale : Des Antiquaires. If so, I would be most : interested in reading a personal evaluation : of the pear shaped pearl, formerly belonging : to Queen Mary, which has now been : incorporated into a tiara/necklace by : Cartier. : : : : : : : : :
