Finding descriptions of jewels given to Queen Victoria by various Indian Princes (other than the Koh-i-noor and the Indian pearls) is difficult.
For a Drawing Room HM was reported by the
Times
1 March 1878 as wearing
I suspect that the necklace may be the one described by Twinning
even though the necklace described by Twinning has 3 chains of gold and not pearls as described in the newspaper.
The necklace described by Twinning has been documented by the Royal Collection (RCIN 11355)

I wonder what the tiara of Indian pearls could have been? If it was the one below I would have expected some mention of the rubies in the description.
