History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Re: Grand Duchess Vladimir's Collection

The long sautoir was returned to the treasury at the outbreak of the war and was kept with the imperial jewels until they were dispersed, so the pearls are unlikely to have come from that source.

Have no doubt that the pearls came from the Grand duchess Princess Alexandra often wore pearl drop earrings set in diamond pear shaped frames that looked very like the pendants on the Grand Duchess's long sautoir necklace

Hi all, hope your all safe and well.

I'm writing a series of long reads on Grand Duchess Vladimir's Collection and I found this post on Instagram regarding her Pearls.

I've never heard this story before so I was just wondering if anyone had any corroborating evidence ?

Thanks
