Queen Mary passed a lot of things down directly to her granddaughter, and of course Queen Elizabeth as reigning monarch got whatever was in the official pool when she ascended the throne. It seems as if the QM had mostly personal jewels without a lot of family history, and so it makes a LOT of sense that her favorite grandson's second wife could wear those b/c they aren't associated with the present queen or with the monarch in general.
