    From page 46 for Queen Victoria's Fringe Brooch, re the chaîne de corsage this appears to be that piece " 'with large Brilliant centre' ".

    It seems to have been reduced later to the brooch with which we are familiar (as waterfall).

    So it seems it is not Queen Adelaide's Fringe Necklace.
