I cannot find any reference in the media to emeralds, previously belonging to Empress Josephine, having been sold in or around 1912.
There are references in the media to emeralds belonging to Empress Josephine being on the market in earlier periods -- most notably circa 1814 when her son was trying to sell some of her jewels in England.
Once again, this is an avenue which needs further investigation. If such a necklace was sold circa 1814, it is possible that any other change in ownership might have been completely private and there will not be any mention of it in the press.
