Based on all of your information and the better contrast in Arthur's photo, I guess my first inclination was right and they are a couple of the Cartiers.
I am somewhat surprised however that HM would (need to) borrow her mother's bracelets - under the, maybe naive, assumption on my part that The Queen would have enough of her own to choose from. Then again, our family often borrow jewelery that matches well with a certain outfit, so why not !
If aigrette can find her colour photo, we can hopefully identify which ones.
Cheers! Bryce
