Is it possible you remember seeing a similar diamond necklace on Nicole Kidman as Satine in Moulin Rouge?

I think the movie necklace was inspired by the one on the left photo.

:
: The piece on the left is identified or
: described in Menkes (which I don't have) as
: Queen Alexandra's collier résille. Her
: source was Cartier: Jewelers Extraordinary
: by Hans Nadelhoffer, 1984. In that book the
: two plates above are shown next to each
: other or on opposite pages. The caption of
: the one with swags and bows does identify it
: as having been made for Queen Alexandra but
: I don't recall what the other one said. It
: is thought that the two captions mistakenly
: got swapped, causing the confusion. The
: necklace on the right appears to be the one
: worn by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary,
: whose alterations would have included the
: removal of the garland borders.

: It will be a couple of days before I can
