I apologise if I interpreted your post incorrectly Dave -- but the sapphire, pearl and diamond demi-parure was never part of the British royal collection. It was a new set chosen by the Prince Consort as a wedding gift to Princess Alice from her brother, Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales.
Nor did the tiara worn by Margaret Geddes ever belong to any British royal lady. Margaret Geddes was born in Britain, but was not a British royal.
