I am now wondering if in 1935 the Queen Mother had several brooches adapted to enable her to change clasps on a two strand necklace. It would also appear that it was only in 1935 that she showed a clasp on the side. Perhaps it was the fashion. Re the photo showing the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret waving which PJ Kiser posted. At the risk of starting World War III, I do not think that it is the ruby clasp of the Indian pearls which can be seen. To me it looks like a brooch which has been adapted as a clasp. If, and it is a big if, we have previously correctly identified the Indian pearl necklace with a clasp of 2 rubies surrounded by diamonds as the necklace which QEII has been photographed wearing, then what QEQM is seen wearing in PJ Kiser's photo does not seem to be the same necklace.
