It was the brooch in the photo I initially posted which got me wondering which jewels I was looking at.
When I could not place the brooch, I began to wonder if the central stone in the tiara was not the cabochon emerald - yet there was the stone in the necklace to consider!!
But now I think that OmerH has solved the brooch query -- except that in the original photo the setting around the top stone still looks somewhat different. Perhaps all my queries are because of the poor quality of the photo. How I wish modern digital photography was available in previous times!!
Below is another photo where I think Princess Alice is wearing the same brooch as in OmerH's photos -- except we cannot see the top half of the brooch, just the pendant peeking out under the Duchess' fur cape.
