I thought the same thing at first about the large diamond necklaces being part of Raja Zarith Sofiah's dress! Apparently the diamond and sapphire bracelets and the diamond necklaces are part of Johor's crown jewels.
New Straits Times - The Commisioning of the Johor Crown Jewels
"A pair of bracelets that was added to the crown jewels by Sultan Ibrahim in 1935 is worn by the consort at her coronation. Each bracelet has four cushion shape fine blue sapphires (70 carats), four oblong diamonds each weighing 5 carats, one oblong diamond (1.15 carats), three oblong diamonds (2.50 carats), seven brilliant cut diamonds each weighing 2.17 carats, 17 brilliant cut diamonds each weighing 1.64 carats, 753 brilliant cut diamonds (40.60 carats) and 190 baguette diamonds (40 carats)."
