I agree that the brooch is most probably the one with the aquamarine 'vase' as seen in Angela Kelly's book, but the unfortunate shadows behind the brooch make it difficult to judge.
Initially, like Adca, I thought the bracelet was the sapphire and diamond bracelet said to have been given to QEII for her 18th birthday, as I could see the characteristic v shaped link but, when I looked at the photo in Field's book, I realised that in that bracelet the sapphires are much larger than the diamonds. In Bryce's photo, the diamonds look larger than the darker coloured stones.
