We just saw the "The Other Boleyn Girl" movie, the 'girls' were covered with pearls all through it. Historically accurate, but note that in one scene Ann Boleyn (Natalie Portman) is wearing FWP with - anachronistically - a basket clasp......... It added and extra flavor to the film. (Though when Ann goes to the chopping block, her pearls are tied at the nape of her neck with a ribbon.)

BTW the gold B pendant with three pearls attached is taken from a contemporary portrait.
