Love of fine jewelry dates back to the earliest times. While the Egyptian necklaces of the second millennium BC may be lesser known than the diadem Josephine wore for the coronation of Napoleon I, they are all given a new lease on life at the Musée du Louvre, to the delight of thousands of visitors from around the world.
