The Princess of Wales is widely admired for her exquisite fashion sense, distinguished by her attention to detail that elevates her style.

A standout feature of her elegance is her selection of earrings, often chosen for their rich personal and historical meanings.

Kate frequently honors members of the Royal Family, such as Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, through her accessory choices.

Simultaneously, she supports the British high street by often selecting earrings that are within reach of the everyday consumer.

Join us as we explore some of her most remarkable pieces, complete with information on where to purchase the exact styles or achieve a similar look on a budget.

Collingwood pearl earrings 

On Remembrance Sunday, Kate paid tribute to the Royal Family, wearing a military-inspired Catherine Walker coat paired with her late mother-in-law’s Collingwood pearl drop earrings.

The earrings were originally a wedding gift to Diana from Collingwood, a trusted jeweller of the Spencer family. She began wearing them several weeks before her marriage to Prince Charles, and they quickly became one of her signature pieces.

The design is striking in its simplicity: a round diamond stud suspends a smaller diamond and a bell cap set with three rows of delicate diamonds, encasing a luminous pearl drop.

Since debuting the earrings at a state banquet in 2017, Kate has worn them on numerous occasions, including with the iconic Lover’s Knot Tiara – another of Diana’s favourites. 

Their versatility has made them a staple in her collection, effortlessly complementing both formal and daytime ensembles.

Monica Vinader Siren Wire earrings 

The Princess of Wales has been a devoted fan of Monica Vinader jewellery since 2014, and is often seen wearing the Siren Wire earrings. 

Crafted from 18-carat gold vermeil and hand-cut green onyx, these earrings perfectly balance refined simplicity with a touch of statement-making charm.

Versatile and timeless, they work just as well for everyday wear as they do for more formal occasions. The rich green gemstone adds a subtle pop of colour, while the sleek silhouette transitions effortlessly from day to night. 

Lightweight and easy to wear, they’re the kind of piece you’ll reach for time and again – whether teamed with a T-shirt and jeans or a little black dress.

In addition to Kate’s gold vermeil pair, these earrings are also available in sterling silver and rose gold vermeil.

Orelia chain huggie hoop earrings 

One pair of high street earrings has proven particularly popular – not just with Kate, but with TV presenter Cat Deeley too, who was recently spotted wearing the exact same set. 

The earrings in question? Orelia’s Chain Huggie Hoops, an 18-carat gold-plated design featuring a chain-textured finish and convenient click clasp. 

Kate is clearly a fan, having worn them to more than 10 royal engagements, including a visit to Maidenhead Rugby Club in 2021. 

The dainty hoops are as versatile as they are stylish, effortlessly elevating both casual and formal looks. 

While Kate has paired these earrings with blazers and dresses, Cat gave them a relaxed twist, wearing hers with a cosy sweatshirt on the beach.

Robinson Pelham Tsar Star earrings

The Princess of Wales provided a masterclass in glamour at her Together at Christmas carol service, stepping out in a hunter green coat, suede knee-high boots and a pair of dazzling drop earrings. 

Royal style watchers instantly recognised the striking star-shaped design as a creation by Robinson Pelham – the very same earrings Kate memorably wore to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in 2022. 

Part of the brand’s Tsar Star Collection, the earrings are crafted from 14-carat white gold and adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds. 

What makes these earrings so versatile is their clever design – they can be styled three ways: as simple studs, with the diamond star drop at the front, or worn with the drop behind the ear for a contemporary twist. 

With their constellation-like shimmer and celestial charm, these earrings are perfect for a party.

G Collins & Sons ruby earrings 

Kate chose a familiar pair of ruby earrings for Armistice Day that made a lasting impression. 

The dazzling drop earrings, designed by G Collins & Sons, have been worn twice previously: to welcome US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump during their State Visit to the UK in September, and to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in May. 

They showcase a vivid oval ruby framed by a halo of brilliant diamonds, topped with a single sparkling stone for an elegant finish.

Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising someone special this Valentine’s Day, earrings inspired by Kate’s timeless style are certain to be cherished. 

Even better, the high street is full of beautiful, affordable alternatives, which are guaranteed to elevate any outfit – from cosy knitwear to a slip dress.
