After all the discussion about the black beads in other portraits, I see the black squares in the Princess ELizabeth portrait as the black with a white spot like someone said. Could these be diamonds instead of onyx or some other black stones?The pearls are black here, but maybe the others are. One site that reproduces Renaissance jewelry has this as a white diamond instead of the black square on the necklace part. I'm making this complete outfit for my daughter. Are these suppose to be white diamonds instead of the black squares? I never thought about it until the recent eye-opening research on black pearls in paintings.
