If I remember correctly that she wore this necklace on a trip to London to see her sister Alexandra when she was still Princess of Wales and stunned London society with it.
If I also remember correctly the dowager Empress always had precedence over the current Empress at court and therefore kept the best jewels so until her death in Marie's case they never got handed over to the last empress.
