According to Hugh Roberts in The Queen's Diamonds it was made in 1838.
Queen Victoria wore it frequently.
Queen Alexandra wore it for her coronation as seen in the photos in the first post.
For the first Opening of Parliament by Edward VII.
1905 for the wedding of Princess Margaret of Connaught
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was photographed wearing it over many decades.
After QEII ascended the throne, HM and her mother appear to have shared the bracelet. QEII was photographed wearing it many years before her mother's death.

In Turkey in 2008
I don't seem to have any images of Queen Mary wearing the bracelet. Does anyone know if HM wore it? I cannot imagine her NOT wearing a significant bracelet with large diamonds!
