On the other hand, who has not heard of Elizabeth Taylor, who was given the famous pearl featured in the book by Richard Burton in the 1960's. Liz's pearl, La Peregrina, was one of the Spanish crown jewels. There are paintings from the sixteenth century documenting the pearl's existence. I like to think that Juana owned it first.
