    I have seen no close-up, but I believe the Countess of Wessex wore a diamond cross in a diamond circle. It is a brooch she has often worn for memorials and remembrance events.

    : Like every year, Queen Elizabeth II attended
    : this evening (8 November) the 'Festival of
    : Remembrance' organized by the Royal British
    : Legion at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The
    : Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the
    : Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of York, the
    : Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Duke and
    : Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent,
    : Prince Michael of Kent and Princess
    : Alexandra of Kent were present, as well as
    : Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife
    : Samantha.
    :
    : The Queen wore a two-row pearl necklace (but
    : I can not identify which one) and Queen
    : Mary's beautiful 'Town of Richmond' pearl
    : and diamond brooch (unless my files are
    : wrong, it is the first time this brooch is
    : worn since the Indian State Visit to Britain
    : in October 2009). She also wore a pair of
    : pearl and diamond cluster earrings (but I
    : can not recognize if they are from Queen
    : Victoria's Jubilee parure or from Queen
    : Alexandra's wedding parure).
    : The Duchess of Cornwall wore her diamond
    : snake necklace. I have not identified the
    : other ladies' jewels (the Countess of Wessex
    : and the Duchess of Gloucester look as if
    : they were wearing a small brooch under their
    : poppies).
