The original Cartier invoice states that the "five row pearl necklace,chanel ring black rose (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_rings/Chanel_gold_Stackable_flower_rings_50.htm), consisting of 389 pearls weighing 4305 grains" was accompanied by an "enamel clasp
representing Catherine,chanel bags 2010 collection (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_handbags/France_coco_chanel_sky_blue_with_white_side_handba gs_1434.htm),Fivefingers Sprint Shoes,chanel 2.55 bag history (http://www.getnewbags.net/chanel_255_handbag/Chanel_255_black_damier_design_leather_handbags_78 1.htm), Empress of Russia" and "two diamond alternate clasps." Several newspaper accounts from the '20s suggested that the pearls did indeed
once belong to Catherine; Anna Thomson Dodge's heirs maintain that Horace bought the pearls from Cartier on that basis.
A mysterious pearl necklace that may have once belonged to Catherine the Great,chanel sunglasses 5144 (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_sunglasses/Chanel_silver_frame_brown_color_lens_sunglasses_17 13.htm), Empress of Russia, will be auctioned off by Bonhams in New York in December.
Automotive billionaire Horace Elgin Dodge purchased the necklace (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_Necklace/Chanel_gold_with_cc_logo_Necklace_218.htm) from Cartier in Paris in 1920 for his wife Anna Thomson Dodge at the astonishing price of
$825,Chanel green women scarf (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_women_scarf/Chanel_green_women_scarf_1000.htm),000 - about $8 million in today's dollars.
In 1920,shop chanel sunglasses (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_sunglasses/Chanel_white_frames_purple_lens_sunglasses_1745.ht m), before the advent of cultured pearls,replica chanel cc logo earrings (http://www.getnewbags.net/chanel_earrings/Chanel_gold_yellow_earrings_625.htm),Christmas Gift 4,Chanel silver drop cc black crystal earrings (http://www.getnewbags.net/chanel_earrings/Chanel_silver_drop_cc_black_crystal_earrings_685.h tm), they were exceedingly rare and valuable,France coco chanel brown leather summer boots (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_boots/France_coco_chanel_brown_leather_summer_boots_1849 .htm), much more so than diamonds (http://www.topcartierstore.net/Cartier-Love/18-carat-white-gold-love-ring_15.htm). Nowadays pearls have become more
commonplace while diamonds (http://www.topcartierstore.net/Cartier-Love/18-carat-white-gold-love-ring_15.htm) are more precious,discounted chanel sunglasses (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_sunglasses/Chanel_white_gold_cc_frame_grey_lens_sunglasses_17 47.htm), though a true connoisseur recognizes the value of the Dodge necklace,chanel sunglasses 5181b (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_sunglasses/Chanel_red_silver_cc_frame_lens_sunglasses_1703.ht m),Pasha fountain pen printed circuit decor,shop chanel bags online (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_handbags/France_coco_chanel_flap_black_color_leather_handba gs_1194.htm), which is made of all natural pearls.
Now reduced to three strands comprised of 224 pearls and two Cartier diamond clasps,amethyst earrings (http://www.getnewbags.net/chanel_earrings/Chanel_gold_cc_pearl__earrings_562.htm), the necklace (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_Necklace/Chanel_gold_with_cc_logo_Necklace_218.htm) is estimated at $500,000- $700,000,a hefty sum, to be
sure,Chanel silver pink pearl heart Necklace (http://www.getnewbags.net/Chanel_Necklace/Chanel_silver_pink_pearl_heart_Necklace_327.htm), but far less than Horace originally paid. The reason for the depreciation has less to do with the reduction in strands than with changing fashion and
an evolving jewelry marketplace.
