As we know nice pieces of jewellery were left to the Princess Royal, the Duchesses of Gloucester and Kent on Queen Mary's death in 1953 I find it hard to believe a token was not bequeathed to her successor as Queen.
The Fringe necklace being so noticeably worn by QEQM from 1953 onwards makes it a good candidate.
It is obviously a major piece, coming perhaps from Princess Victoria in 1935 and Queen Alexandra 10 years earlier.
