Necklace travels in brown papers through history
A 300 carat diamond necklace said to have journeyed Egypt to America in brown paper parcels since Napoleon I gifted it to his mistress. The piece passed through empresses, archduchesses, and bankers before ending in the care of Mrs. Charles Townsend in New York. It carries the will of the Sene Emperor and a long chain of transit, customs questions, and a historic claim to its duty status.
