Shelley's comments: This necklace is based on one owned by Marguerite de Navarre who is said to embody "the most complete expression of the French Renaissance." She built hospitals, reformed monasteries and was a scholar in classical and ancient languages. She arranged for Leonardo da Vinci and Cellini to work at the court of Francis I.
