Atleast I have a match for the bangle/bracelet/bandeau-lot,
The notice seem to be written by Adelgunde, Princess of Bavaria, Princess of Hohenzollern. She married in 1915 Wilhelm, Prince of Hohenzollern. He was a widower after the death of Marie Therese von Bourbon-Sicilie and had three adult children. So Adelgunde become not a mother but a grandmother amongst others to Maria Antonia (Mimi?). She married at the 4th of January 1942.
The jewels might be of her offsprings.
