I guess the lady with the pink topaz parure is Archduchess Agnes, wife of Karl Alfred of Liechtenstein (next ot her). She was the daughter of Hubert Salvator of Austria, son of Marie Valerie, and born in 1928. http://www.bildarchivaustria.at/Pages/ImageDetail.aspx?p_iBildID=307171.
Her sister Valerie was born in 1941, married 1966 the Markgraf of Baden and was for this reason too young.
By the way this is an interesting picture, It seems to be a glimpse of a, pardon, 'minor' diplomatic corner. In the second row Indira Gandhi, isn't? And the young Akihito, then imperial Crownprince of Japan in the first row. Beside him a lady with a fringe, maybe the wife of the gentleman in uniform. And a little bit strange the lady with a white veil.

Are you saying that one of the two ladies is Archduchess Valerie of Austria (who subsequently married Queen Eliabeth II's nephew by marriage, the Margrave of Baden?) or that the lady is wearing the Marie Louise Topaz parure?
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?

the 8th in the row...
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.

Rosemary was a granddaughter of Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen and his wife Princess Isabella of Croÿ.
Rosemarie married Hubert Salvator of Austria, the third child of Archduke Franz Salvator of Austria and his wife Archduchess Marie Valerie of Habsburg.
