Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

[James]

Thank you Laurie and Susan for answering my inquiry. After having read every entry on this particular thread on more than one occasion, I must say I'm intrigued and puzzled by the respondents' refusal to acknowledge that the much ballyhooed seed pearl suite of jewelry was not worn at the inaugural ball. There is ample evidentiary documentation showing that the jewelry never made an appearance in any of Mary's photographs until much later.
Since the basis for this conversational thread was primarily centered around the sitters in the image displayed on the website at abeandmarydag.com, so too are my observations and remarks. I believe wholeheartedly that the photograph in question is a genuine image of Abraham and Mary Lincoln, and have yet to witness a legitimate opposing argument anchored in a factual foundation. This specific example is just one of many that is truly astonishing.
