I don't think Princess Caroline's wings contain any sapphires (or blue enamel like Gertrude Whitney's). It appears that there are open spaces through which we see her dress (or hair), as seen in this photo from Chaumet's website.
This would explain why there was no color seen when they were worn by Beatrice Borromeo on one of her wedding gowns.
