I think you are right, Baxter (as usual... ). Not only the ruby clasp at the back, but the very slight graduation and the small pearls interspersed at the back of the necklace between larger pearls are distinctive characteristics of this Indian pearl necklace, designated by Queen Victoria as heirlooms of the Crown.
