I noticed today that Ursula has some items on the jewels of Mary Goelet, Duchess of Roxburghe.
For those who would like to read more see https://royal-magazin.de/england/roxburghe/roxburghe-goelet-spain-royal-pearls-necklace-jewels.htm and follow the various links.
I am not sure how to interpret all that Ursula has said about the pearl necklace with the pear shaped drops. Ursula are you saying that the necklace did belong to Queen Isabelle of Spain?
I compare it Beth, had noted the similarity.
There are wonderful large pearls, very rare and quality. The market was not full of that pearl necklaces, in same design.
So probably we solve the puzzle in the future, when one or two necklaces came to the light or archives are published details about alterations, sales of part of it.
