I have included pictures of the Tiaras and jewels which I think the Empress may have worn according to the descriptions from Kongetro's article!
For the State Banquet on the first evening, Empress Maria Feodorovna was:
"reported to have worn Diamonds as big as hazelnuts"
The second evening, the Empress wore:
"a crown of Diamonds and Sapphires, a necklace consisting of a long chain of Pearls with a rare large Sapphire as pendant"
On the third evening she wore:
"a Diamond tiara, around her neck Diamonds competing in brilliance with the enormous Pearls in the necklace, long rows of Pearls reaching all the way down to the waist of her dress"
