The Nizam of Hyderabad necklace was originally created by Cartier in 1930s. 

The original necklace consisted of eight double-drop and three triple-drop pendants. 

However, nine of the pendants (all eight double-drop and the larger of the triple-drop pendants) were later removed and sold separately. 

The necklace itself found its first owner in 1936 but Cartier repurchased it a year later.

The Queen wears it occasionally still today.
