'Spectacular' exhibit, diamond bib necklace

Diamond and platinum bib necklace by Harry Winston, 1965-66.

Somebody had asked if these were replicas, but no, they’re the real thing. Post had donated much of her jewelry collection to the Smithsonian Institution, and they are now on loan to the estate for this exhibit. This priceless necklace, however, belongs to Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens.
