I know that there is a prevailing belief that Queen Alexandra wore only short earrings, but the ones she donated for auction to the Children's Fund during WWI were longer items, which suggests that she may have worn pendant earrings in private. Secondly, for the Devonshire House Ball, Queen Mary was (unexpectedly) wearing pendant earrings. Perhaps both ladies decided that creating their character's image over rode their own preferences.
