I do not have any evidence of it. I am actually quite puzzled about these necklaces. If their origin tracing back to Queen Anne and Queen Caroline (i.e. the first half of the 18th century) is true, then they are the oldest pieces in the Royal Collection. But we have never seen any picture of any Queen before Queen Elizabeth II (for her wedding in 1947) wearing them. Quite strange for such historic heirlooms...
