Hello,
I'm pretty sure the elements on the Duchess' dress are not jewelry but are made of fabric and part of the dress. Notice that the same ornaments are used on the edge of the sleeves.
Regarding the head element, Marie Adelaide used one of her big sapphire and diamond brooches set against her diamond circle necklace.
I think the Duchess is wearing her set of sapphire brooches set into her stomaker as well (the larger one, probably the one worn as an hair ornament, was not part of the stomaker but worn above it):

Probably the brooches are also worn by the Duchess in that painting :
The set of brooches next belonged to Alice, the Countess of Athlone, Marie Adelaide's daughter-in-law.
Alice wore the sapphires in her mother-in-law's stomaker :
and also all pinned on her corsage :
Don't know what happened to them at Alice's death.
Have a nice day !
