A choker like this wasn't worn when combinations of tiara and haircomb were fashionable, but if the choker was originally intended as two identical bracelets, it could be. Might be a bit broad for the period though. Regarding the earrings: not necessarily the design, but the dark centre is somewhat reminding of the upper row of the small tiara.
