After selling the earrings, Madame de... claims to have lost them, but unbeknownst to her, the General discovers her deceit. Trying to hide his knowledge, he repurchases the earrings and gives them to Madame de... as a gift, hoping to test her honesty. She happily accepts them, oblivious to her husband's awareness.
Madame de... then uses the earrings to pay off more debts, but the jewelry finds its way into the hands of a jeweler who recognizes it as a gift from the General to his wife. The jeweler sells the earrings to Baron Donati, who, coincidentally, is Madame de...'s new lover. Donati presents the earrings to her, unaware of their significance.
As their affair intensifies, Madame de... becomes conflicted and decides to break it off with Donati, feeling guilt and shame over her actions.

With their relationship ending and the truth hanging over them, tragedy strikes when Baron Donati perishes in a duel fought over Madame de... As she mourns his death, Madame de... falls seriously ill. In her last moments, she confesses her love for her husband, acknowledging the depth of her mistakes, and asks for his forgiveness.
