Marie had diamonds and pearls at a time when diamonds and pearls really meant something. Like the narrator said, cultured pearls didn’t exist and the great diamonds mines of Africa and Russia hadn’t been discovered.

It's awful to think that the only folks who can afford to buy these kinds of jewels are folks like the Saudis or Slavic oligarchs or other such families who greedily buy these precious artifacts, then hide them in safety deposit boxes. These, in particular, are parts of the French national patrimony.

PEARLS ARE WONDERFUL

Such classic pieces, gorgeous!

Wonderful and Fascinating Video🤗 I don't believe Marie Antoinette was "as grand" as they say. She was actually quite charitable and even adopted 9 orphans that she loved including a young black boy raised at the French Court as an equal with the Royal Children. She was blamed because she was Austrian the whole "Affair of the Necklace" which deserves a video itself it was quite a necklace only she didnt actually order it. and the French hated Austria why I've no idea

It is evident you are not informed of this king and queen. Yes, she was extravagant in her early years of marriage mostly, I think, due to her immaturity having been wed at age 14. Once she had children that changed considerably. King Louis had no interest in spending money as his interest was in lock making and clocks. Marie’s mother constantly reprimanded her daughter telling her she had to do well for her French subjects.
