Famous as in they were the only ones she wore?
Or famous for another reason?

Famous because they were a particulary costly double row which surpassed in price the rope of natural coloured  pearls given her sister by HER mother in law Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt and said to be worth $100,000.

Hi,

Just a guess here:
If the picture is taken in the early 30's (30, 31) then the lady on the left could be Lita Grey, Charlie's second wife.
The lady does somewhat resemble Lita Grey....
By 1932, Charlie had hooked up with Paulette Goddard;  but this is not Paulette here...

As with Eric, I'd like to know what year this was taken???

You can tell, just by looking at their faces, that they were no longer the young couple they once were. Wallis has that makeup on industrial strength And though she had been around the block not a few times,  the Duke looks rather weather beaten.

The Duchess kinda creeps me out with her hideous drawn on eyebrows...awful. She reminds me of Joan Crawford in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane." Disturbing movie.

Katenka,
            it was you who originally said the pic was taken in the early 30s which is why I made the comment about the date in the first place.

The other picture, the one of David with Charles Chaplin, not this one.

yes I agree with you then.  But why did you put that comment on the other picture.
