If you allow me I do not think that the "Kuwaiti" pearl necklace is the one you have described (worn for exemple for the 2014 Christmas message)for two reasons :
- I do think that the Two Strand Pearl Necklace identified as the one from Kuwait was inherited from Queen Mary.
Indeed she haw somethimes worn this necklace with jewels inherited from Queen Mary (see also a portrait worn with a diamond brooch from Queen Mary and Queen Mary's Large Pearl Button Earrings.)
Moreover, for the 2014 christmas message her selection of a jewels from a Queen Mary was very significant due to the historical context.
- The photo we have, from the Kuwait state Diner in 1979, puts in relief that the double strand pearl necklace worn by her Majesty is smaller than the other one (see our posts in the past).
What do you think of my theory ?
Best regards,
Franck
