I would like to post her sapphires. I’m not sure if it’s two sets as there are some overlaps. Couple of years ago a photo of some jewels surfaced, including a tiara with sapphires and diamonds en tremblant. I think this tiara matched a necklace in Fersman, and possibly a sapphire bracelet also in the discovered cache of photographs. The tiara was also worn attached to a kokoshnik headdress with the necklace that was hastily made for her to wear to a costume ball (Fersman)

My guess is there must be a brooch to match the set as that is how Russian parures seem to work (tiara, necklace, brooch). Not sure of the huge sapphire cluster brooches seen in the group shot are part of the parure, I would say not. Just to clarify that I’m not talking about the set made for Alexandra Feodorovna , the brooch of which might still exist if the photo I posted on the other board is correct, though the loop design is quite similar in each. Perhaps they were both inspired by the sea. Post about brooch
