Well, I am sure the family would have given them to her decendants, but her son was killed too, wasn't he? As far as I know, her line was wiped out with him. And even if you went into her brother's family, then they would have gone to the ruling party of Austria. And I can't see Austria having any claim in a French queens jewels.
