Both the Sunday Times and the Times had reports.
The information in the Sunday Times is in a weekly social column, which recorded the activities etc of selected individuals. (Often those who sent reports of their dinners etc to the paper)
If it was a State occasion at Buckingham Palace the Times published an official list of all the guests. Normally the dress and jewels of the Queen and some of the royal ladies were described, but the reports varied in the amount of detail. If it was a Court where debutantes or other ladies were presented, there was normally a section describing the dress and jewels of some.

: I find these clips from the Sunday Times very
: interesting, especially the one regarding
: the pre-wedding reception held for Princess
: Marina. Are any of the other guests
: mentioned, and does it say which jewels they
: wore?

: I have found some reports in the Sunday
: Times
: for when Mrs Greville was reported to have
: worn her emerald tiara.
:
: I will only list a few of the later dates as
: my intention was to find the latest reports
: of her wearing the jewel.
:
: Report dated 1 July 1934
:
:
:
: Report dated 2 December 1934 at a
: pre-wedding reception for Princess Marina.
:
:
:
: Report dated 28 June 1936 at a dance at
: Holland House.
:
:
: Although the report does not specifically
: say Mrs Greville was wearing the emerald
: tiara that seems to be what is suggested.
:
: Report dated 21 November 1937. This was for
: a State Ball in honour of King Leopold of
: the Belgians. Although the report does not
: specifically state that she wore a tiara, I
: think it is safe to assume she would have,
: but whether that necessarily suggests she
: wore the emerald tiara is open to question.
:
:
:
: At the very least the media confirms that
: Mrs Greville was wearing the tiara in 1934,
: and given how the report was phrased for the
: pre-wedding reception of Princess Marina, I
: suspect that Mrs Greville may have worn her
: emerald tiara when she wore the rest of her
: emerald jewels.
