Nellie, Although your logic is a reasonable assumption, I don't think it is the case. Both QM and QA wore many of the jewels QV wore frequently and left to the Crown. For example the GIV diadem, Queen Adelaide circlet, the coronation collet necklace, the fringe brooch, etc. Maybe those aren't "closely associated" with QV, but there are many photographs of her wearing many of those. I think the more plausible reason is that both QA and QM had MANY strands of pearls to choose from, and didn't need to "resort" to wearing those two strands. Bob
