| I think a gift of jewels from an ex-king is still pretty royal- I eagerly await what it will fetch. I love that Queen Mary story and it looks like this necklace might be the one, doesn't it?. The one with the pendent has 28 pearls and a diamond clasp. She is clearly wearing two strand in the photo that look great together. The DoW's jewel collection is one of the most prestigious in the world ever collected by one woman and pieces of it are highly sought after and fetch the highest prices at auction.
Personally, I love the barooda necklace. I saw an article about it that listed which pearls off which strands went into the single strand. The single strand contains the cream of the crop. Although most of the pearls are still left, no other strand will be as fulsome as the one that sold recently.
I think it was strung with white thread- my question is what kind of glue is the pendent pearl adhered with?.
