But we know from Hugh Roberts in The Queen's Diamonds that it is definitely a Greville item.
Roberts notes that QEQM wore the three strand section frequently and for exceptional occasions all five rows.
But QEQM seems to have worn the 5 rows for less grand occasions also.
Below on her way to attend a theatre production in 1957. Not a tiara evening, much less a grand state occasion; yet, HM is wearing all five strands of the Greville necklace.
On grander occasions
Rhodesia 1953
Dutch State visit 1950
Now worn by the Duchess of Cornwall
