The set of pearls, purportedly belonging to Marie Antoinette, which we wrote about earlier in 2007 have failed to sell. The pearls left a chaotic and revolutionary France in the care of Elizabeth Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland, and were later set into a necklace.
The necklace, which graced the wedding ceremony of the Duchess’ grandson, were expected to fetch close to ¬£400,000.
Save up your pennies: you might be able to buy this amazing piece the next time it hits the auction block.
