[Edit: I was mistaken in saying the following] The description of the Queen's necklace makes me suspect that she was wearing her Cartier collier resille necklace with the ruby and emerald drops.
Edit 2: I have removed the photo of QA wearing her collier resille as I have just realised that she could not worn it in 1902 as it was not made until 1904. I definitely need a brain transplant!
