"a pair of earrings of Art Déco style, with large baroque pearl drops weighing circa 100 grains each. According to what I heard from M. du Daffoy himself, these earrings come from Queen Elena of Italy, born Princess of Montenegro (1873-1952), wife of King Victor-Emmanuel III of Italy. They were at some point given by Queen Elena to her youngest daughter, Princess Maria-Francesca of Savoy (1914-2001), who married Prince Louis of Bourbon-Parma (1899-1967)."

They date from the 1930s and do not appear to match any of those sold in the 2018 Sothebys sale.
