Museum Provenance
So extraordinary, the world still knows her by her first name. So stylish, her fashion choices—oversized sunglasses, glass pearls, statement jewelry, a simple tank watch—are as on-trend today as in the heyday of Camelot. Many of Jackie’s personal items, including gowns and her signature faux pearls, are part of The First Ladies, an exhibit at the National Museum of American History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
My husband bought these for me on a visit to the Smithsonian. Our home was recently burglarized and this necklace was among the many things taken. I realize now how often I wore them when I no longer had them. I am now looking to replace them and am happy they are still available.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
"Pleasantly surprised" would be a gross understatement when describing my initial reaction to the overall quality of this purchase. I purchased the reproduction to wear on "casual, no frills" outings but upon opening the box, I immediately decided to wear it to a special mother's day celebratory event. The necklace was so admired by others from a diversified sample of friends attending the event that I wish I had purchased one each for my sisters and sister-in-law. I would definitely buy it as a gift for special friends and family. It is a great piece because it blended well in Sunday morning church services as well as an annual Lung Transplant Benefits Ball and also while spending an evening with the Washington Ballet: ¡Noche Latina at the Kennedy Center. I believe this purchase was an excellent choice. I have not yet found anything "that's not great" about this necklace. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and to my family members.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
This necklace, although of good quality and workmanship and beauty of the pearls, is not as much of a choker necklace as Jackie Kennedy's was. In the display box, all three strands line up perfectly below each other, but on the body the first strand is farther from the other two than the second and third are from each other, so the necklace looks uneven. It is also too long to be a reproduction of Jackie's necklace. Regretfully, I am considering returning it I would recommend it if it looked more as I saw it in a photo of Jackie wearing it, which you do not include in your adviertising.

Comments about Triple-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace:
The actual color of this necklace is gray-colored, not creme colored as pictured online or in the catalogs. The customer service was very helpful & even went to the warehouse to see if the one sent to me was simply an oversight. She found that all of the necklaces in the warehouse were gray in overtone. She was very professional, allowed me to return, & gave me reimbursement.
