Hugh Roberts documented it in The Queen's Diamonds page 224. It initially had 40 collets and since HM's death inherited by the Queen who has since lent it to the Duchess of Cornwall. The Duchess, according to Roberts, has had the necklace shortened to 31 diamonds.
Our fellow poster, The Royal Watcher, has an interesting item on it. See http://royalwatcherblog.com/2019/05/12/queen-elizabeths-coronation-riviere/
The Duchess of Cornwall has been photographed wearing it twice.
First at her 60th birthday celebrations
Secondly for the State Banquet for the French State visit to the UK in 2008.
