Paisley, The "twin" pearl necklaces on the top left are the Queen Anne and Queen Charlotte Pear Necklaces.
The Queen wore them on her wedding day. They were a wedding gift from her parents.
I think she considers these some of her best pearls and wears them only on special or state occasions.
Cheers! Bryce
