However, the necklace seems different to the one worn by QEQM.
I am convinced that she had several emerald necklaces.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s there were numerous press references to a second emerald necklace, but no description. At times the press also talked about an emerald chain. Whether it and the second necklace were one and the same jewel is unclear to me.
The only photo I have of Mrs Greville wearing emeralds towards the end of her life is from May 1937
Even when the section with Mrs Greville is enlarged, it is unclear to me whether she is wearing 2 emerald necklaces or if the one she is wearing has pendants. Perhaps someone with a keener eye than mine might hazard a guess.
It is possible that the second emerald necklace was the choker she wore to the Devonshire House Ball, but I suspect that by the late 1930s the choker would have been remodelled, as the press spoke of a necklace, not a choker or collar.
Hi peoples, does anyone have any pictures of the purported emerald necklace said now to be possibly in the collection of the Queen?
