    Dear Arthur,

    It is always a great to pleasure to read you in English....and also in French !

    I think you are right ! Indeed the bottom pear shaped diamonds in the modern earrings match those in Queen Alexandra's wedding gift

    What a great deduction !

    Best regards,

    PS : You should go to Drouot in order to see works/books from Flaubert (a private collection of books which will be sold in few days)...
