I am amazed at the clarity of this photo compared with some where it is difficult to identify Queen Victoria's jewels.
I agree Bryce that there is a chain of small diamonds in the folds of the veil.
I wondered if these pearl ornaments formed part of those used by Queen Alexandra on her dress for her coronation, although she had her own stars

and I know it has been argued that she may have used parts of her pearl wedding gift necklace on the collar of her coronation gown.
Perhaps they were used to ornament this gown

and

I estimated that QA would have worn 9 pearl and diamond elements on her dress in the 1881 photos; yet there are only 8 elements in the necklace, so perhaps she had more.
