I would definitely say : it is the same piece of jewelry. Actually that emerald and diamond tiara was sold at Christie’s in 199.... something, as a necklace. The difference is only a problem of light which happens a lot with white jewelry. The light diminishes the volume of diamond and pearl on a clear background, which is the case here with the skin. Don’t forget that, at the time, the reproduction of photographs was very bad. One original picture could be copied a hundred. You can see this in any archives which goes further than World War II. Some picture are of very good quality, others are very bad.
