I am not sure if it was first intended to be a necklace, but that diamond piece has always been worn as a bandeau. It was a favourite piece of the late Duchess of Braganza, Dona Maria Francisca born Princess of Brazil, and she wore it at several high profile royal events, like the prewedding of King Baudoin and Queen Fabiola, the prewedding of Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and Princess Sofia of Greece in Athens, the golden wedding anniversary of the Furst and Furstin von Thurn un Taxis etc. It was always worn as bandeau. I think Dona Isabel should wear more imposing jewels at these events, and yes, she does have more imposing jewels in the vaults, but she is a very discret lady.
