RE: Mary Lincoln's Fashions
According to James Cornelius on the youtube site, Mr. Lincoln purchased the heart shaped diamond for his wife on April 29 1862, which indicates it was probably meant to console her in the aftermath of the death of their boy Willie which had occurred eight weeks previously.
However, I have never seen any photos of Mary wearing the beautiful necklace. She wore mourning for a year after Willie died, and after the assassination she never wore anything BUT mourning. Does anyone know if she ever wore the heart? Are there any photos? |
