The pendant on the necklace is almost identical to the Kent amethyst brooch that is part of the Kent demi-parure owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
The tiara could also be worn as a bodice ornament as seen here for the coronation.
In the first picture under the central star brooch and in the coronation picture on her necklace Lady Julia is wearing a very important jewel the "Carew Spinel". It was a Mughal jewel with the names of Emperors Shah Jahan & Aurangzeb Alamgir carved into it. In 1922 it was gifted to the V & A in London where it is displayed now a days.
