Detailed explanation-1: -Ans. Mme. Lionel’s sacrifices proved to be all in vain as Mrs Forester, when she met her after ten years, told her that the necklace was of fake diamonds worth only 500 francs.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, it isn’t until the very end, after the necklace has been paid for, that Mathilde learns the one she borrowed was a fake. While the reader never sees her reaction to the news, you can infer she learned that just because something looks valuable doesn’t mean it really is.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because of her pride and obsession with wealth, Mathilde loses ten years of her life and spends all of her savings on replacing the necklace only to find out that the original necklace was a fake.
Detailed explanation-4: -They continue to look for the necklace. After a week, Monsieur Loisel says they have to see about replacing it. They visit many jewelers, searching for a similar necklace, and finally find one. It costs 40, 000 francs, although the jeweler says he will give it to them for 36, 000.
