J-F was correct. Queen Mary was wearing a brooch with a round pearl and a diamond border. I finally found another photo of the same occasion. Detail I agree with J-F that this would have been Queen Victoria's pearl. The pearl is larger than those in the clusters from Queen Alexandra's necklace and a different shape from the one in the Cambridge pearl brooch. Apart from anything else Queen Alexandra's pearl necklace was being worn by QEQM in 1937, so one of the clusters could not have been used as a brooch by Queen Mary.
