Yes the bow brooches were returned under the Hanoverain claim and Queen Victoria had an almost identical set remade by Garrards, which we now know as Queen Victoria's Bow Brooches, as are still worn by the Queen today.
Also returned under the Hanoverain was the diamond necklace, that the Duchess of Cumberland wears in her hair, this can be seen worn here on Queen Victoria, characterised by it's rather oval centre stone.
The return of this necklace deprived the Queen of a large diamond Riviere necklace, and thus the necklace we now know as the Crown Collet Necklace (or Queen Victoria's Coronation Necklace) was made.
