    All these necklaces were designted as Crown heirlooms by Queen Victoria (see this post, items Nr. 9, 10 and 11: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1405776855.html).

    Regarding the four-row pearl necklace, it must be the one with a ruby clasp at the back. In a recent thread, we had come to the conclusion that the rows were detachable, and that Queen Elizabeth II has worn several times the two shorter rows, and sometimes the three shorter rows.
