The following is just a suggestion as I realise others may have additional information or other suggestions; however, I wonder if the term - "Queen Alexandra's 1901 Cartier pearl, emerald and ruby necklace" might be appropriate? From what Franck said there is another pearl and diamond necklace and so I think it is best to include the words emerald and ruby to avoid confusion. How I wish that the media, when reporting on the jewels in the Court Circular in the first half of the twentieth-century, had included photos!! Then, at least we would know what was actually worn.
