There’s also a photo of Princess Victoria and Alexandra with the choker, but I can’t find it right now. (I think her sister Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna was in the photo as well).
In The Queen's Jewels (1987) page 35 Leslie Field referred to a "delicate Edwardian necklace" worn by Queen Alexandra in 1917 and then by Princess Anne. Field described it as "a black velvet choker on which a narrow diamond chain was caught up in two swags by three diamond circles."
Princess Anne wore this choker on at least 3 occasions in 1971 (and perhaps at other times).
Queen Alexandra wore similar chokers on a number of occasions. So far I have found photos of her wearing this particular choker in 1912 and 1917.

Has anyone seen more images of Queen Alexandra with this necklace? Or Princess Anne wearing it again?
