Not sure about that. The alleged resetting in the 20's could refer to the knife edge spacers between the diamond collets in the upper tier of the necklace's front portion. With their different design they could well be a later addition to lessen the gap between upper and lower tier. The photo of Evelyn, Duchess of Devonshire is not sharp enough to decide if these elements are present already, but the gap between the two tiers seems far more prominent than in later images. (Rerunning The Royal Watcher's photos here)
The picture of Evelyn Duchess is interesting as the caption states probably reset in the 20’s. that can’t be true then.
