This would be the Turkish necklace you refer to. Sorry it is not clearer here.
The Turkish diamonds, gift of Sultan Mahmud, in Bury, who in a few places mentions the jewels made from them.
There was the necklace of clusters and rows, and tassel pattern earrings.
Of the Turkish, "The Queen loved this set and chose to wear it at her marriage in 1840." Plate 159
