I particularly enjoyed seeing the design sketch with the accompanying notes. I wonder if the necklace had been altered before it was acquired by Queen Elizabeth? -- that is, I wonder if the box sections of the joining mechanism for the side pendants had been covered over, or if they remain?
I wonder if the diamond collet above the pear shaped diamond in the current pendant is still detachable? And if so, was it and the other collects which were detachable also fastened with a box clasp mechanism?
I find the third necklace the most attractive of the three. I wonder how many necklaces were made?
