Genuine Diamond Necklace.
Q.So how do you explain Guy de Maupassant's most famous short story, "Le Parure"??? It is felt by many that it is the greatest short story ever written. It was one necklace made of paste.
A.This is doubtless the reason the story is always translated as "The Diamond Necklace." I always hopes that the couple got the necklace back after it was discovered they had given her a genuine replacement - but his point was that they had so altered themselves that it couldn't have set things right. There are multiple ways to the truth. The thing that pointed me in the right direction was entirely blokey, being the memory of the newspaper coverage about how much the prop necklace cost. (The director wanted to avoid the risk of the necklace looking cheap or fake, and did so by the straightfoward method of commissioning a genuine diamond necklace, which really is worth millions.) He lifted the heavy diamond necklace from my hands, and placed it around my neck. 'They say it was made for a courtesan in Montmartre at the turn of the century. The Duke who commissioned it died in the trenches in your "Great War". The girl rejected him for a penniless writer, but died soon after. A tragic piece, but worth over two million pounds.'
