According to the theory, the wine wasn't poisoned the first time Joffrey drank it. No one needs to see that there's a gem missing if the gem doesn't fully dissolve and even if it does, they can find the necklace in Sansa's possession later.
There is a risk involved but there's also a risk doing it without framing anyone.
Sorry if I'm missing something, but I've been following the thread and I've seen the episode 4 times already (and the poisoning part 8 times).
How sloppy do you think the Tyrells are? Even if you ONLY count on the fool being in on it and Sansa wearing the necklace, your plan could easily disintegrate. What if the fool tells someone else about this? What if Sansa didn't wear the necklace?
Lastly, what was all that business in episode 1 about the necklace contest Olenna was hosting? I mean, she asks around for the best necklace in the land in order to award the winner the 2nd best necklace in her possession. WTF is that all about, and does it tie into this poisoning in any way?
