Given that the earrings are faux, it is quite possible that the necklace is as well. I have always thought that it looked rather like a Kenneth Jay Lane piece, personally.

: That's a very good question.
: As this grand demi-parure has not been worn
: by any other of the present Bernadotte
: ladies (like CP Margaret's laurel leaf
: tiara, which is unquestionably Lilian's
: private property), it should be most likely
: in her personal possession.
: But its provenance is something of a
: mystery. There is no record of a previous
: Swedish Royal wearing the set, and another
: odd fact is that Lilian only started to wear
: it in public in the second half of the
: 1990s.
: A certain very knowledgeable poster here
: once hinted at the possibility that the
: turquoises might have a royal provenance
: indeed and found their way back to the main
: Bernadotte family branch.
: Another good view of earrings, necklace and
: ring:
