History of Famous Jewels and Collections: Pearls

The real pearl queen would have to be Queen Alexandra, it was said she possessed ropes upon ropes of pearls.

Dear all,

It's impossible to know how many pearl necklaces the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother had or had worn; a pearl lover herself.

However, from my own researches, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother owned or had worn (certainly inherited by QEII and now by King Charles) on least :

- 11 Single Strand Pearl Necklaces ;
- 8 Two Strand Pearl Necklaces ;
- 8 Three Strand Pearl Necklaces ;
- 2 four Strand Pearl Necklaces ;
- 2 pearl sautoirs (wedding gifts)
