[Similar examples were made famous by the House of Cartier at the beginning of the 20th century. Queen Alexandra (1844-1925) started a fashion for dog collar style necklaces in the late 19th century when she was Princess of Wales. Cartier was subsequently commissioned to make an elaborate résille necklace for this Queen and Empress in 1904, which was worn frequently during her reign. Queen Mary inherited this beautiful jewel and enjoyed wearing it during the 1930s] • Material: 18CT White Gold • Principal Stone: Sapphire Blue • Principal Stone Shape: Brilliant • Princip Stone Weight: 89.50 • Principal Dia Colour: G • Princip.
