Thank you for sharing, I had never heard about this necklace.

Jewels associated with the Brazilian Imperial Family is quite limited I think, which I have always found slightly odd given many gemstones, particularly diamonds originate in Brazil. It would have seemed logical to me that the Imperial Family would have amassed an impressive collection but if they did, there isn't much evidence/photographs of it.

I have read that the Imperial Family lived a rather modest existence compared to many European royal houses and maybe they simply did not have the interest/need of grand jewels?
