LONG VERSION: The Yusupov Black Pearl Necklace

[@annfeeney1662]

I love hearing you pronounce the foreign names of these characters , so eloquently . It’s seems like you speak those languages without any effort . I love languages and hearing them , in their tempo, is like music.

[@hellodenise9612]

I love your delivery! I paint while listening and at one point I forgot that the story was about the black pearls! Lol I thought maybe the next video came on. Love your work!!

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I could entertain you - your comment put a big smile on my face today. ❤️

[@lisatalmage4627]

You have such a relaxing voice. I love hearing you speak. You have a sense of humor too.

[@egriffinj]

Many years ago I read about the Yusupov black pearls (probably in Naderhoffer), I was intrigued at the time but they faded off. This piece brought all that back to me. Your writing is great and the presentation is just right. Your enthusiasm comes across wonderfully in your narration. And your research is absolutely top notch This is simply one of my new favorite pieces of history writing on KZbin. What great work and what a great new find for me. Thank you

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you so much! Your comment totally made my day. :) I'm glad you appreciated all the research. I still wish I had a better answer as to where the pearls ended up, but that's part of the fun of this project. I never quite know where a story is going to take me when I start it!

[@gretamorrhaye1623]

Always enjoy listening!!!! Thank you so much

Why are you JUST NOW showing up in my feed!?!?! Had to subscribe! Now..if you will excuse me...it’s time to binge on all your posts. 🤗

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Enjoy the binge! I'm so glad you're here. ❤️

Same! This channel is such a hidden gem. 💎

[@jasonblackburn6479]

I absolutely love your videos and style of narration!

[@katkenobi6765]

I don’t know what caused one of your vids to show up in my recommendations, but 5 vids later, and I’m hooked. You have interesting topics, a very pleasing voice, and excellent research. Subscribing as soon as I finish writing this post. I haven’t gone through all of your channel yet, so forgive me if you’ve already talked about this; any chance of doing something on the list Faberge eggs? I’ve always been intrigued by them. I’ve done a bit of research on my own ( YEARS AGO), I’d love to hear your take on the topic. Ok, off to sub, then watch more!!!!

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

So glad you're enjoying my videos! I normally stick to wearable jewels and royal women who don't get as much coverage as, say, the original owners of the Faberge eggs. But if I found one with a killer story (multiple owners, maybe some scandal, maybe some espionage?), I'd definitely look into it because I'm a sucker for a good story. If one of the eggs fits the bill, let me know! :)

[@gemmafollows]

I didn't expect to hear my last name come up (Widener) come up in a video about a Russian pearl necklace. Very cool! I've been binge watching all of your videos after I found them yesterday. I love your narration.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you so much! Wow, your last name came up twice in this story! Did any of the names ring a bell from old family stories? Eleanor seems like she'd have a lot of stories to tell! :)

[@gemmafollows]

@@TheGirlintheTiara I wish I did. I didn't know anything about her until I found out about the northern branch of the family as a teenager. I was looking into colleges and discovered Widener University near Philadelphia.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

@@gemmafollows Isn't it strange how family stories and lore just get lost over the generations? I reached out to a descendant of Gertrude Boyce-Thompson's to ask about the black pearl necklace, and it didn't ring a bell there, either. If I do anything awesome in life, I'm making sure everyone knows about it! ;)

[@Lisa_0519]

How sad: I struggle to imagine if I had to flee from my humble home without any of my most valuable belongings... thinking I might come home but never being able to😭

I'm currently OBSESSING over your channel! I love your videos! Especially the swearing ;)

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you so much! As I read your comment, I started hearing "Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta" in my head. I'm totally not a gangsta, but their vocabulary has definitely influenced mine. ;)

[@rebeccaclark9131]

You should start a podcast!

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

That was my original idea! I recorded audio for my long blog posts to see if I could get the hang of it, and if anyone might be interested. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence! :)

Omg Irina she had display cases full of jewelry each cabinet was a different color and let’s say the cabinet was blue well that cabinet was for sapphires and so forth for the other cabinets and she had large crystal bowls with loos gemstone’s in them the size of large marbles a lot of these bowls threw out there palaces

[@jessiejoseph1093]

Are you familiar with the Cowdray Black Pearls? 42 pearls...worth a google, but probably not the same...these were sold in 1937 and again in 2013...Do I get a prize if I solved your mystery?

[@marietgagliardi]

I really like the stories but what's with all the swearing? I find it distracting

[@timcorner2821]

There might be info on the pearls in Gertrude's will in 1950.

[@i.rankin6711]

Where are those beautiful, but haunted pearls ?

[@maryellencole353]

I like your video but throwing in curse words is distracting

[@sofiabravo1994]

Swearing is overly saturated in our social life it’s not a spice but it’s bitter. Using proper language is the new spice.

[@sallysorrentino4013]

I absolutely adore what you've done & could keep watching everything you present, but as constructive advice or just as personal preference, could you consider adjusting the verbal tonnage at times seems disproportionately comedic rather than a preferable calmness to match your soothing voice, you just sound overly forced happy it's not allowing me to become fully immerged in the era

[@RUPERTBARE1]

Well I have to agree with every positive thing said.

[@BlushGush]

It’s funny because Welles IMMEDIATELY came off as a handful and trouble. Colin Ferrel vibes

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

LOL! This will totally date me, but the vibes I got were like the Meg Ryan / Russel Crowe romance from back in the day. I remember the tabloids calling it "too hot not to burn out." But Mathilde and Sumner stayed together, so I guess they found a way to make it work.
