One of the things which I noticed in the brooch in the National Portrait Gallery UK photo which OmerH posted a link for is the size of the diamond below the pearl and diamond cluster and the shape of the pendant pearl. I do not think that matches with anything in Queen Alexandra's wedding gift pearl necklace.
NPG 1876 portrait.
A view of the Duchess of Cambridge wearing the necklace.
Could the brooch in the National Portrait Gallery UK which OmerH posted be the same as the brooch in this 1875 photo?
If it is (I am not sure) then it is not part of the wedding gift necklace or part of the wedding gift pearl brooch.
I am finding this a real puzzle. I hope someone can help us to solve it.
