The necklace was commisioned some 50 years after the execution of the French Queen, fondly remembered as "Madame Deficit". It is only the loose pearls that belonged to her. Vive la perle naturel!

Personally I don't care for the design of the necklace and I don't think Marie Antoinette would have cared for the design either. The natural pearls on the other hand, well, that's another story. Drool, drool.
