I wondered if Queen Mary wore it attached to her gown at the Devonshire House ball (draped below another jewel below the baroque pearl) But I think I might be imagining things.
I'm inclined to think you're correct, Beth. The central bow element seems to be visible (although the sketch suggests a diamond in the centre whilst in the photo it looks like a pearl), as well as the alternating pearls and diamonds on knife-edge-elements at the end.
A pity we don't have access to a sharper image.
