No, Madame Forestier lied about the necklace being real and told Mathilde it was only costume jewelry. The Loisel's spent years paying off the debt they incurred to replace the necklace, not knowing its true value. Madame Forestier never sold the necklace or returned any money to the Loisels.
The Loisels do not tell Madame Forestier that they lost the necklace because they were ashamed and afraid of the consequences. They were worried about how Madame Forestier would react to the news, given the value of the necklace and their inability to replace it. Additionally, they hoped they could somehow find a way to replace it without her ever finding out.
M. Loisel is a character in "The Necklace." He is introduced as a clerk working in the Department of Education. After his wife loses an expensive borrowed necklace, he spends the next 10 years working a side job as a bookkeeper and copier to pay off his debt. "The Necklace" was written by Guy de Maupassant.
How does Mathilde Loisel's desire for wealth and social status affect her life? What role does the necklace play in the story's plot? How does the theme of deception and appearance versus reality manifest in the story? What is the significance of the story's ending and the revelation about the necklace?

According to the jeweler the necklace was worth 40,000 francs; but they could have it for 36,000 francs; he would buy it back for 34,000 - obviously it wasn't really worth the original 40,000 & he hadn't been able to sell it.
The denoument is pretty much the resolution, in the necklace it would be that the necklace that The Loisels spent there life in agony for turned out to be fake.
The Loisel couple realizes that the necklace Mathilde borrowed is missing. They search frantically but cannot find it. Unable to locate the necklace, they decide to replace it with a similar one at a high cost. They work hard for years to repay the debt incurred from purchasing the new necklace.
