What an interesting topic Janet.
At present I don't know the answer, and it may take me some time even to look at the information I have at present.
Strathmore.
There are photos of the mother of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wearing a tiara at the 1937 Coronation and also with pearls as her necklace. Apart from that I don't recollect any images of any of the Countess of Strathmore with grand jewels.
Harewood
There were Harewood jewels, but I don't recollect seeing images of Countesses prior to Mary, the Princess Royal. Nor have I looked.
With regard to the Earl of Harewood, husband of the Princess Royal, the press noted with a lot of froth that he had inherited the Clanricarde jewels.
But what did those jewels consist of? Despite considerable discussion on the Royal Jewels of the World Message Board, I don't think that anyone has positively identified them.
Some of the information I found in the press about the Clanricarde jewels and posted on RJWMB in 2017

Nellie posted this (and some other information) https://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/1506029849.html
This is a topic which I had hoped to get back to but, as always, I got side tracked and then forgot.
