    This two strand pearl necklace worn by the Queen for the Christmas message last year (2014) is a fairly long necklace & the rows sit quite close together. Some of the pearls are a slightly unusual shape & the necklace appears to be slightly graduated. In one photo the clasp is just visible but hard to work out the exact design? It is thought this could be the necklace given to the Queen by Kuwait in 1979?? The photo of the Queen with the flowers in her hair is in Tuvalu in 1982 & one of the close-ups, the purple & lace dress is in 1997.

    : Queen Victoria`s Indian Pearls with ruby
    : clasp, in some of these photos the ruby
    : clasp can just be spotted, Leslie Field says
    : the clasp "has two magnificent rubies
    : surrounded by diamonds". Nellie`s
    : collage has a few more views. In one photo
    : the Queen looks to have 3 strands but the
    : longer necklace is separate but may quite
    : well be made of the Indian pearls as there
    : were 222 pearls in the original four
    : necklaces given to Queen Victoria & they
    : were remodelled & have a snap pearl to
    : allow them to be joined together. The pearls
    : are a fairly large size, the strands of the
    : two with ruby clasp sit a little apart but
    : closer than the Hanoverian & there are
    : some very small pearls at the side, between
    : each larger pearl, going towards the back of
    : the 2nd row, maybe to get the length right?
    : but it is a way to identify the necklace
    : from the side.

    : A two strand necklace the Queen wears on
    : more
    : informal occasions such as the Windsor Horse
    : Show.The green outfit was the Windsor Horse
    : show in 2004, the purple on a Thames river
    : cruise in 2013 & the close up at Windsor
    : Horse show in 2012. These pearls look
    : baroque & not graduated, the strands sit
    : close together. They are probably the same
    : pearls worn at the opening of the King`s
    : Lynn Fire Station, Feb 2015?

    : The B&W photo is of the Queen in the

    : Also a picture from the honeymoon in 1947,
    : same brooch so probably the same pearls?
