In the only portrait I found of Princess Anna, she wears this spectacular diamond necklace, which appears to be the same one (the upper portion at least) worn by her mother-in-law, Julia, Princess of Battenberg, at the Wedding of Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885.
Except a spray of diamond roses given to the later Marchioness of Carisbrooke, mentioned by Ursula, I don't think the origin and the fate of the Battenberg jewels have been discussed.
