Queen Elizabeth II pictured in 1953 wearing the necklace, a wedding present from the Nizam of Hyderabad.
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.
