It is Queen Alexandra's Pearl and Diamond Necklace. You can see the characteristic swags and drops, and the way it lays is characteristic of other pictures of it being worn.
The darker spots in the photograph as just shadows cast by the pearls and the swags, not coloured stones.

: appears to be coloured pendants.
: Is it the turquoise necklace (a bit strange
: together with an all diamond tiara and all
: diamond brooch) or perhaps one of the lesser
: known pieces she received for her wedding?
