In 1960 Beatrice Paget, then Dowager Countess, sold some jewels through Sotheby's. Unfortuately, I cannot find out what via the media I have access to.
The necklace in the advertisement is not, in my opinion, the one we have seen photographed on the Countess.
Closer view of item in the ad.

It is possible that the Countess was selling jewellery at this time (May 1960) as her husband had died on 13 January 1960; yet the estate hadn't been submitted for probate then.
During the 1960s there were other sales by the Earl of Pembroke and the Dowager Countess.
