Obviously, the double wings brooch/tiara was a popular jewellery model in the first half of the 20th century, and Chaumet produced several versions of this jewel, with various stones, or with only diamonds.

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.
