The Queen is wearing her City of London necklace in the New Zealand portrait. Comparing Queen Adelaide's necklace (below, left) to the City of London necklace (right), we can see that the graduated spikes flanking the center bar of QA's necklace contains 9 brilliants, while the spikes of QEII's necklace contains 7 stones. The center spikes of 7 stones can be seen in this detail of the NZ portrait.
