' For forty-three years the necklace had smiled alluringly with its 145 pale pink eyes upon thousands of visitors to the historic museum of the City of Light—smiled from o. carefully guarded case in the Galarle d'Appolon. But the Paris reign of the pearls is over. They are to go soon to New York, for their new owner is a Fifth avenue jewelry firm. tsl Rose Pearls. The Thiers necklace is unique. not because of the value. size, number or arrlnsement of the pearls—there are individual pearls larger and of higher price and some are grouped in far'more fascinating designs. but beeches they are most rare oriental “rose" pearls. wonderfully matched in hue and graded in size in three strands, united by a. ruby clasp. The total weight is 2,136.95 grains. while the largest specimens of the three strands are 51. :9 and 86 grains. respectively. Aside from this iegtheir historic value,'assoclst- ed with great names and great courts and the fastidious taste of some of the greatest European ex- perts of the last century working over a period of nearly half a cen— tury to make the most “perfect" display in existence. There are the romantic facts of the assembling of the pearls, thru the reignvof Louis Philippe, the sec- ond republic. In all the political transitions the collector‘s, husband played prominent roles-from the acquisition by the bride_of 1833 of the first three pearls to the bargain made with others as his fortune augmented. Others came as the gifts of royalty until at the death of Mine. Thiers. in 1880, the number of perfectly matched jewels had reached 108. Then additions were made from other pearls in her col‘ lectlon, and particularly from the strand of thirty-six she had given her sister. until the three strands were completed as they are today. The other day three strands. se- pez-Terragoya. which the Fifth av- ’m‘n OOOLEST.TEEATBE IN THE NOB\VALKS mated from their ruby deep. were first offered separately. The maxi- mum total bids amounted to 9, . 910. 000 francs. Then the whole necklace was offered, and after a lively period of bidding it was sold tor _11 ,aso.ooo francs to tile Paris-i . in pearl merchant, lit. do Lopes- ' Terratoya. famous for his curious collection or “irrisations hams” at his house in Neuilly.‘ After the sale.- he admitted he had madethe pur- chase. the amount of which. calcu— lated by the exchange of that day. was $658. 224. for an American oil. eat, but declined to divulge his name. Records show that line. Thiers actually spentin cashier between ninety and ninety-ave of the pearls, and for the single string which she gave her sister the comparatively modest amount/o: 14.000 francs. The remainder were gifts. it is believed. When the contribution was made to‘ the Louvre at 1881. government op- praisers set the . value at 25,009 francs. or. according to the ex~ change of that day. about 85.000.— qulte a contrast.

Thlers‘ wits was Mlle. Elsie Dos- ne, 155 years old. As a wedding gift Thiers gave her three pearls. which it is said he had received from the Comte Mole as collateral for a loan. They formed the beginning of the famous necklace. It has. been related an agreement was entered into between husband and wife: whenever he made 50,000 francs his wife was to receive 1.000 francs in ordcr'to add to her neck- lace. The necklace grew with Thiers' fortune. In the days of the second empire there was a great re- vival of sales of Thlers "The His- tory of the French Revolution." and madame, as usual. received her com- mission on every 50,000 francs.
