The Iron Lady and her Power Pearls...I didn't agree with her politics, but I always respected and admired her determination and passion.

Good for Pearls! Do we have any photos of her in them? Were they Akoya? "If Pearls Could Talk~"

Gasp, I guess she still has avid fans out there.

I just remember admiring her when I was a child. You didn't see too many women in power then.

Good grief....someone wanted a piece of history !

I googled Mrs. Thatcher in pearls and she wore quite a few different pearl necklaces, but a lot of doubles.

I wish we could see the clasp on this one.
