The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna's jewels were all her own and were not on the table. the long pearl and diamond rope with drops was nearly identical to the one in the Russian treasury.
The brooch and pearl and diamond necklace worn by Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna were on the table.
The long diamond necklace worn by Empress Alexandra Feodrovna in the second picture of her was part of the Crown Jewels and was on the table.
