As the Princess of Wales celebrates her birthday, we look at the five most iconic jewelry pieces that have defined her public style, from sentimental heirlooms to modern statements.
Princess Kate often provides us with inspiration through her elegant outfits or various makeup styles. But Kate’s jewelry has also captivated us. On the occasion of her birthday on January 9, Diamonds Factory has compiled a selection of her most popular jewelry pieces.
Kate consistently impresses us with her elegant yet relaxed manner, her radiant smile, and her grace. We find these attributes reflected in her accessories as well. Kate combines her jewelry pieces elegantly and modernly. She does not restrict herself to gold or silver jewelry but wears both. Playful elements like an initial necklace or colorful gemstones are also found among the Duchess’s accessories.
Kate’s Alhambra necklace is particularly popular among royal fans: The Alhambra motif by Van Cleef features four-leaf clovers in yellow gold, white gold, or mother-of-pearl. Kate wore her lucky charm necklace, for example, in May 2023 at the concert for Charles’s coronation.
Another popular jewelry piece of Kate’s is a direct declaration of love for her three children – her initial necklace from Daniella Draper with three golden pendants: G, C & L. The initials of her children – George, Charlotte & Louis. Kate acquired the personalized necklace in two versions. One with three individual pendants and a second necklace with a golden plaque on which all three letters of the children are engraved together with stars.
Kate has been spotted several times with the Chandelier earrings from Missoma. Among other occasions, at the Royal Variety Performance in November 2021. The golden Zenyu hoop earrings can be shopped for 170 euros.
Pearls were long considered unfashionable, but thanks to the enduring vintage hype, pearl jewelry is now back in style. So it’s clear that Kate’s triple-row pearl bracelet is also among her most googled jewelry pieces.
Kate’s golden earrings with green onyx are also very popular. Kate wore the drop earrings, among other times, during the Diana Memory Garden Tour in 2017. The real gold earrings with the green gemstone are timeless and can be combined with various outfits. The green stone onyx is also known for its healing and calming effects.
