There are a variety of jewels being auctioned, including a Cartier Tiara that belonged to Lilias, Countess Bathurst:
'Lady Bathurst noted that the stones for this tiara and presumably the matching corsage brooch, commissioned at the same time, came from two tiaras belonging to her late mother, Lady Glenesk, who had died in 1898,'
Also, there is a pearl necklace given by Queen Anne to the first Countess.

Sothebys are auctioning items belonging to the late Dowager Countess Bathhurt and amongst the items are a topaz suite of jewels which "By family tradition, left by HRH The Princess Amelia (1783-1810), daughter of George III, to her Lady in Waiting"
This may be an interesting purchase for the Royal Collection, there is very little I believe that pre-dates Queen Victoria, a couple of strings of pearls and some necklaces. Its estimate is GBP 18,000 - GBP 25,000.
