If it is the latter, can you speculate as to who the lady is, I find it hard to believe she is a Hapsburg as their attendance at the 1953 Coronation is unlikely.
Similarly I don't understand how it can be Archduchess Valerie, as she was born in 1941, which would have made her not even a teenager at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation.
Maybe you mean her mother Archduchess Rosemary loaned the parure to someone who did attend the Coronation?

Imperial Pink Topas Tiara, part of Pink Topas Parure - This jewelry was not one of the crown jewels of France, but was the private jewelry of Marie-Louise. The Empress left the tiara with the necklace and the topaz earrings, her Habsburg relatives, it was seen in the 1920s by Princess Rosemarie zu Salm-Salm, Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany.
Once again on the occasion of the wedding of her daughter Valerie in 1966, with Margrave Max von Baden, she wore the smaller version of the parure with collar, earrings and diadem at the bridal soiree.
Archduchess Valerie wore the topaz on the occasion of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
