I think that there is a portrait of a young Queen Victoria wearing them. I have a hazy idea that Nellie posted the image. I suspect that the length of the necklaces would have resulted in their looking like a choker on QEQM and so she chose not to wear them, as she had access to other superb pearls which suited her style; however, I have always been perplexed as to why I haven't seen photos or portraits of Queens Mary and Alexandra wearing them. Even QEII does not wear them frequently.
