Barbara its the full version of the big amethyst brooch, with the 3 amethyst hanging pendants.
Here is another pic from this ocasion, the state visit to Portugal in March 1985, the only time, to my knowledge, that HM wore the main pieces of this set together.
It was considered very appropriate that HM decided to wear the oldest set of her jewels to the state banquet of her visit to Portugal, Britan's oldest allied (aliance since the XIV century).
