I do agree that this is the wedding gift necklace, without the outer strand, and I think shortened, with a couple of amethysts removed. It would hang better if the outer portion were returned.
I am having trouble getting all the pictures onto my screen in such a way that I can compare them. But I'm wondering whether Queen Alexandra's necklace is still a candidate for a remodeled gift necklace. Does anyone know for sure what the stones in her cross were? That would tell us whether her necklace was actully amethyst.
