The second photo which Kongetro posted shows Queen Mary wearing a different necklace in Ireland.
At present I can only guess at the origin of this necklace, but it is possible that it was one of the two which Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, had from her mother, Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge. I think that it was Hugh Roberts who drew attention to the fact that Mary Adelaide was given one of the necklaces before her mother's death. Later Mary Adelaide also had what are referred to as the Cambridge emeralds. It is possible that Queen Mary was either given or purchased the smaller of the two necklace -- but this is very much a guess on my part.
Mary Adelaide wearing the Cambridge emeralds
As can readily be seen the emeralds in the necklace worn by Mary Adelaide are much larger than the ones worn by Queen Mary.
Years ago Baxter of the RJWMB drew attention to the fact that Queen Mary (as Princess of Wales) was photographed wearing this smaller necklace in 1907, which proves that she had this emerald necklace long before she acquired the Cambridge emeralds for use in the Delhi Durbar parure.
After she became Queen this smaller emerald necklace was frequently worn for significant day time events.
Perhaps the most prominent was the Investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1911.
She then wore it and her emerald shamrock brooch during the tour of Ireland in 1911 following the coronation.
Queen Mary also wore it for the Alexandra Rose Day drive in June 1913.
