Vincent Meylan has posted some amazing pictures Posted by Janet on March 18, 2020, 10:09 am of the Grand Duchess Vladimir's jewels including her fabulous sapphire stomacher and the pearl stomacher it was based upon. Such beauty and craftsmanship. I have never seen the pearl photo before and they look to be photographs from a book. Does anyone know the book or is it perhaps one that is yet to be published? https://www.instagram.com/p/B92O4atonJu/

Thank you Vincent! And thank you Janet for drawing our attention to this.
