Thank you Lennick, I will zoom in on Arthur's photos. Your comment about Keshi pearls has me intrigued. I agree about the Labradorite beads. I think there are other minor gemstones also. I find it intriguing to try to identify various gemstones. --Previous Message-- : Having zoomed in on the picture it seems clear : to me that the necklace is a multi-row twist : of freshwater Keshi pearls, baroque : freshwater pearls and teardrop shaped : labradorite beads. I can't get a close : enough look at the back but it looks like : it's strung onto a single row of small : freshwater pearls. : : The belt looks like a match for the necklace : - I can see Keshi pearls, grey coin pearls : and a mix of freshwaters of various shapes. : : It's a beautiful set. : : --Previous Message-- : What a very perplexing question you have : posed : Arthur. I had not previously noticed the : belt. : : The colours and, I think, the textures are : similar to the necklace, and for me the belt : also brings to mind the midnight tiara : suite. On the other hand, I have not seen : any round pearls in the belt and the detail : is not sufficient to distinguish if there : are gemstones (even minor ones) : incorporated. : : I think your query will keep me wondering : for a while, but my initial guess would be : that the belt is costume jewellery. That : thought has me wondering about the necklace : now! : : Whatever conclusion we come to, this : necklace, on this dress,suits Queen Sonia. : : : :
