From Franck „History of Famous Jewels and Collections“ board :
This list was only made from a juridical point of view following the information we have in our possession. Obviously, we do not have access to the protocol of divorce.
Nevertheless, it is logical that, jewels given by British Royal Family or as « Princess of Wales » would be kept, according to tradition within the Royal family.
“During her lifetime, Diana will keep the jewelry and family heirlooms she was given as Princess of Wales, but, according to tradition, they will be passed down and kept within the royal family ».

Princess Katharina Bagration pictured with a large cluster and diamond shoulder brooch, in the size of the center stone – in the spinel diamond comb of her spinel and diamond parure.
Probably she could change the stones and the spinel are wearable as single brooch.

The Princess Royal’s Sapphires – The King George V Sapphire Parure
The barely seventeen-year-old Princess Cecilia of Baden (1839-1891) married on August 16, 1857 the Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolayevich Romanov (1832-1909), the youngest son of Tsar Nicholas I and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Prior to marrying, it was necessary for Cecilia to accept the Russian Orthodox faith.
So she was baptized on August 15, 1857 in a ceremony, being given the name Olga Feodorovna Ольга Фёдоровна.
Her jewelry is famous, and her sapphire parure was later owned by two of her children the Grand Duchess Anastasia Michaelovna Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwerin and her Grand Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich Romanov, who sells them to Henry Lascelles, later the Earl of Harewood, it was his wedding gift to Princess Mary of Great Britain, see in the picture below.
She wore it as stomacher and devante de corsage, or used single ornaments as brooches. The Princess Royal had no pierced ears, so she wore no earrings.
The Romanov sapphire and diamond necklace, was sold, but two items in knot design are still worn by the Countess Harewood, Andrea Lascelles on her wedding day and later when she was seen with Queen Victoria’s Sapphire Coronet, probably as earrings.
