Hi Kevin,

You are right about the grey colour. The necklace is made up of 33 natural pearls, which include 21 gray drop pearls and 12 button-shaped pearls.

I really don't like the stiff, almost geometric design of the actual necklace. I don't know why they used rubies along with diamonds as accents. Maybe the colour of the rubies does something magical to offset the grey pearls--- but I doubt it. I wonder what jeweller made that thing(1849). Remind me not to use him(as if).
