I'm intrigued as to what has happened to the tiara. The Pembroke's are still quite wealthy though the upkeep of their estate(s) must be very high. Interestingly it is becoming common for the aristocratic families who open their homes to now display some of the family jewels i.e. the Devonshires, Spencers and Richmond's as a bit more of a pull.
This may see a few pieces popping out of the wood work.

The Royal Collection has this picture of the Earl and Countess.

The zoom feature shows other great big stones on the Countesses bodice. I'd guess the stones are emeralds.
This photo shows how large the central stone is while the Countess also wears another cabochon stone on her left side.
On a side note a HUGE thanks to Dave for introducing us to these fab jewels.
