The V&A Museum negatives archives I've linked in another thread here contains some quantity of studio photos from around 1910 featuring pearl wearers (see the wedding photos in particular). It gives a good sense of who owned them and what the range was from royalty downwards. Quite interesting.
Wonder if anyone ever did a targeted 'pearl survey' through such photographic archives
, aside tracking specific pieces of royal jewelry.
