George V pearl necklace Archived Message

The gift received from the Queen's grandfather is rather easy to distinguish. The only triple strand pearl necklace worn by the Queen as a girl is one made of pearls that are all nearly the same size. Unlike the one shown above the pearls are not graduated.
As Princess Elizabeth this necklace was worn frequently and continued to appear during the early years of the Queen's reign.
However, I have only been able to find three photos of the pearls being worn during the last 50 or so years.

There appears to rubies in the clasp, which would match the earrings and bracelet worn in 2009.
