Edit: I apologise to Mike. I had not read his post carefully and so what I said below reflects that. The mistake is mine. Mike had said the two items were not a match.

Mike, are you referring to this suite? .

If so, it is not the Cartier 1901 necklace. It was part of Queen Victoria's wedding gifts to Queen Alexandra

The only photo I have ever seen of Queen Alexandra wearing this necklace is from the Devonshire House Ball in 1897, but the Queen wore it with some frequency.
