Nellie, thank you for looking, but I wasn´t looking for a specific picture.
The late Queen Elizabeth received a pearl and diamond necklace, a diamond and sapphire necklace, and an amethyst necklace for her wedding in 1923. There have never been any pictures showing her wear any of these necklaces, and I had the idea that she possibly did so in the picture you posted where she is wearing a crinoline dress.
Boffer confirmed that the picture showed her wear the well known pearl and diamond necklace of Queen Alexandra, not any of the wedding presents I was thinking of.
In the latest picture posted by Nellie, a very young Duchess of York appears to wear the complete turquoise parure she also received for her wedding. It is a very nice parure, sadly she rarely wore it and there are no colour pictures of her wearing it as far as I know.
