Because Queen Alexandra willed this item to the Crown I strongly suspect that it was worn frequently by her. One of the great problems with press reports from Alexandra's era is that often the reference is simply to a royal lady wearing "superb" pearls etc. Without some more hints it is impossible to know what was worn or how!!

Thank you, it seems a very major piece for it to have taken a century to wear as a necklace publicaly.
