Great ! I also do think it is a different necklace !!!!
Can it be the diamond fringe necklace left to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as Duchess of York by Princess Victoria of Wales in december 1936 ?
Photos of the Queen Adelaide fringe worn by QEQM (She has also worn the QA fringe with QM's fringe tiara) :

I wonder what everyone will make of this photo showing QEQM wearing what looks like an unknown fringe necklace in November 1947?
The occasion was a concert at the Albert Hall when Jascha Heifetz played violin concertos on 4 November 1947.
This fringe sits a lot lower on HM's neck than the one Hugh Roberts identified as Queen Adelaide's fringe.
HM in Sydney 1958 wearing the fringe Roberts identified as Queen Adelaide's.
I have the impression that the fringe worn in 1947 has a different, more rounded "base" from the Queen Adelaide fringe.
Below is a close up of the central portion of the Queen Adelaide fringe showing that the fringes are hanging from a "flat" row of diamonds.

I have hunted without success for another photo from this event.
What does everyone think?
