On February 8, 2023, Kate attended the BAFTAs wearing a designer gown and costume jewelry earrings.
From the website: “Metal earrings with flower shaped charms and jewel appliqué. Butterfly closure.”
Three golden flowers, complete with filaments, create the main component of these statement earrings. Flowing downwards, there are six petals arranged to fashion shoulder dusters.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost $27.90 USD.
On March 25, 2022, Kate chose these earrings made by a Bahamian designer to wear on the Caribbean tour.
From the website:
“Everyone loves a hoop! A summer staple but this one is easy and light enough to wear year round.
0.925 Sterling Silver or 14k Gold plated Sterling Silver.”
I found her backstory on the Gorgonian collection to be charming and darling.
“There’s a certain subset of Bahamians that vehemently agree that the official beach season is from Mother’s Day in May to the National Heroes Holiday in October. Otherwise, the ocean is categorically too cold. My mother is a card carrying member of this group. Making the visits only “in season” and often with a car full of her hard partying posse of now septuagenarians.
This collection was first started from a cast of a seafan she beachcombed one such day some years back and gifted to me. It is perhaps my favorite of the collections and is ever evolving.”
If you’re unfamiliar with a seafan, this is what it looks like.
The irregular hoop shape holds a jagged lace motif. It is not a perfectly round hoop, which makes it more one of a kind. It attaches to the earlobe with a locked hook.

These cost $95 USD.
On February 8, 2023, Kate added another Accessorize earring pair to her collection.
From the website: “Texture, texture, texture.
Can’t decide what earrings to wear? This pair is so full of detail that you’ll never have to choose again. Crafted in a twisted huggie hoop profile, these earrings feature both a molten coin and pearl charm that hangs off the hoop.”
A tiny pearl charm sits ahead of a dented golden coin. The coin is sizably larger than the pearl. They are both set on a partial hoop with a golden block at the rear, positioned to keep the charms from falling off easily. A single postback allows the earring to be worn on the earlobe.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost £8.00 or $9.75 USD.
June 2, 2022, Kate brought out jewelry that she inherited from Diana.
Of course, long time Diana fans will recognize these as her earrings.
I count 8 diamonds on the upper charm and 9 diamonds on the lower charm. Each charm is arranged to resemble a daisy flower design, with a cabochon sapphire in the center of each one. A single small diamond suspended between the two connect them as a dangling drop. These should be post back and I assume they are set in white gold.
The provenance of these earrings are currently unknown. Knowing the history of Diana’s jewelry suites, it is likely that these were gifted to her after her marriage. The choice of sapphires would be made with the knowledge that her engagement ring featured a prominent sapphire.

On January 19, 2023, Kate added another Daniella Draper piece to her collection.
From the website: “The Citrine Baby Treasure Necklace is made using 100% recycled solid 9ct yellow gold & set with a beautiful citrine. Wear alone or layer with other DD necklaces to create your own unique look!”
A simple, circular citrine stone is framed with yellow gold. A bail made of yellow gold sits atop the stone, and it is strung with a yellow gold chain.
Here it is on Kate:
This costs $1,050 USD or £825.
On March 1, 2022, Kate wore these simple earrings for the first time.
From the website: “

– Diameter: 14mm.

These are simple gold plated hoops with the metal twisted to form an evenly knobbly surface. It appears to have a hinged hoop as the closure.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost £60 or $72 USD.
On February 22, 2022 Kate added this new MV piece to her jewelry collection.
Baroque pearls are irregular and uneven. A single golden loop allows a bail to link with the pendant drop. Kate paired her pearl with a vintage chain.
Here it is on Kate:
This costs $95 USD.
On May 18, 2022, Kate wore these new diamond earrings to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London.
I count 7 points on each star, top and bottom. One star functions as the anchor which attaches to the earlobe. A rigid line, dotted with tightly arranged white diamonds, travel down to the second star, with the diamond line ending to form the center point of each star. The white diamonds increase in size from tiny to bigger as the line descends, creating a stunning sparkle effect. I assume it has an earring post on the back.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost £10,560 or $13,178 USD.
On December 2, 2021, Kate debuted these simple hoop earrings.
An unfinished hoop consisting of two gold borderlines curve to form an open circle. Glass stones are arranged parallel to the borderlines, creating a glittering effect in the center of the earring. These are created with a friction back and a butterfly back.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost $100 USD.
On March 24, 2022, Kate debuted these bright earrings in the Caribbean.
A total of 11 stones are fixed onto each pendant. Two stones are round (one at the top of the hoop, and one dangling in the center of the hoop) and the rest are pear shaped. Each stone is set in gold plated brass and framed by golden rope of metal. Between each charm is two gold beads set a distance apart. An additional charm attached the pendant to the post (the final turquoise stone is a bit larger than the two round ones) and allows the pendant to swing.
Here they are on Kate:
These cost $130 USD.
