專家說明

This necklace is composed of the fifteen emeralds originally listed in the Boucheron archive of 19th December 1882 as the jewels belonging to Countess Henckel von Donnersmarck (La Païva). The gold mountings of the emeralds certainly date to the time of the first Countess, while the platinum-set diamond spacers would have been inserted later by Princess Katharina Henckel von Donnersmarck.
