I have to agree with Gill, I think this was some sort of crystal decoration, much like we saw in Ireland. This photo I recently came across seems to confirm that it is not a fine piece of jewelry.
The dress had a panel of fabric draped from HM's shoulder, and the decoration could have been made to compliment that.
