A portion from the "Evening Star" (Washington, D.C.; dated October 26, 1951):
Main title was "Princess Elizabeth's Jewels Are Many and Historic."
"Single dogwood blossom earrings also were presented (to) the Princess to wear with the Vancouver necklace (FYI: The Vancouver necklace is described below). For dress she usually selects large, single-petaled diamond rose earrings which cover the entire lobes of her ears. But now that she has had her ears pierced--a recent venture into jewelry-wearing for her---she can, and does, wear pendant earrings. Each earring in this set is a lozenge diamond, a stone about the size of the ace of diamonds on playing cards, suspended between two brilliants." End of this particular portion that made me think it fits what the then-Princess wore in that picture.
Now there is a long article about her "many and historic" jewels but I am not going to type the entire article here. Just important portions:
TIARAS:
**'Fairy-Queen Tiara"---her favorite. Diamonds are fashioned in an upstanding fleur-de-lis design with alternating rosebuds. The rose motif--it's the Rose of York being her heraldic flower. Given to her by her grandmother, Queen Mary, who herself received it as a wedding gift from the young ladies of Great Britain and Ireland in 1893.
**"Roseleaf Tiara"---a wedding gift to Princess Elizabeth from the Nizam of Hyderabad. Halo-shaped, it presents a more solid appearance than the Queen Mary gift. The pattern is rose leaves, buds, and tendrils, with 3 multi-petaled diamond roses in front, which unscrew and can form separate clips.
NECKLACES:
**(Princess Elizabeth) usually wears pearl necklaces in the daytime, with pearl button earrings or none at all.
**Diamond necklaces, reserved for night wear, include an all-diamond pendant necklace of 18th century design, another gift from the Nizam of Hyderabad.
**"Bandeau" necklace---wedding gift from her parents, the King and Queen of England. It's a "semi-rigid" necklace of wide diamond lace, inset with 15 large rubies, designed to form a deep V in front.
**A necklace of a cluster of colored gems, surrounded by diamonds, which was remounted from a necklace of her mother's.
**A new platinum, diamond, and emerald "dogwood" necklace given to her in Vancouver.
BRACELETS:
**According to news of that time, it said Princess Elizabeth never wore a lot of bracelets. Actually, she wore a lot when she became queen.
**A little baguette wrist watch with a few small diamonds, given to her on her 18th birthday.
**An all-diamond wrist watch with an incredibly small face, a wedding gift from the Watchmakers of Switzerland.
**A new wide gold bangle bracelet, richly engraved, given to her by the city of Windsor, Ontario.
**a York rose bracelet of diamonds and rubies, another gift from her grandmother Queen Mary. That was given to Mary from the people of Cornwall.
**When Elizabeth arrived in Canada, she wore a diamond and platinum maple leaf, a gift to her mother by the Canadians in 1939.
BROOCHES:
**A diamond single rose: a little French basket in gold, filled with diamond and sapphire flowers, and a pair of diamond star flowers.
**Insignia of a ruby and gold crest of the city of Quebec, a coat of arms of Ontario, intricately designed and worked out in the smallest detail and a badge of the 18th Highlanders in diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.
This completed the most important details in that long article. I know we all recognize most, if not all, of these descriptions shown above, but still, it's interesting to see that someone back then took a lot of care in describing these details.
It's too bad that my link posted on this board does not include the zoom tool as shown in the newspaper photo I downloaded to my computer from the Library of Congress newspaper collection for you to use and zoom up.
What I see in the zoomed up image does not quite match the picture of the pair of earrings of the queen you posted. It's more like a narrow, long oval with something in the center. It does not look like a flower cluster with something in the center as shown in the picture you posted.
