The Princess of Wales always inspires with her fashion and accessory choices. With a stockpile of glittering diamonds, candy colored stones and gleaming pearls, the future Queen has a jewelry box overflowing with enviable gems.
Still, the nature minded royal can’t resist certain shapes and styles of accessories. In fact, she’s often drawn to unusual charms like bees, shells and reptile themed lobe wear. And when she’s not wearing a pair of vintage studs, Kiki statement sparklers or croc baubles, she’s usually found in floral themed earrings.
Here are 7 Pairs of Kate Middleton’s Favorite Floral Earrings:
1. Erdem Blue Crystal and Pearl Embellished Floral Drop Earrings
Whimsical and wistful, these Italian made $400 earrings call to mind the lure and magic of a flourishing vineyard with its winding groves and mysterious vines. Romantic and timeless, the gold-tone brass earrings feature dark blue embellished floral studs with crystal tipped stems. A white faux pearl is the centerpiece of these majestic drop earrings. Kate premiered the designer earrings in March 2020 at a Place2Be reception.
2. Hamilton & Inches Flora Drop Earrings
These $1700 drop earrings hail from Scottish fine jeweler and royal warrant holder Hamilton & Inches; the luxury accessory designer has a history of creating opulent timepieces, glittery engagement rings and handcrafted silver. Kate debuted the yellow gold earrings featuring pendants of twinkling marquise cut citrine and rutilated quartz in Scotland in May 2021.
3. Erdem Floral Hoop Earrings
At just under $500, these art deco statement earrings call to mind the elegance of the Victorian Era with their intriguing baroque appeal. Combining layers of mother-of-pearl beads interwoven with rusty orange, black and smoky gray crystals, these striking chandelier earrings are truly royal worthy. Worn for formal affairs, the ear ornaments are Kate’s go-to for museum openings and Royal Variety performances.
4. Zara Golden Cascading Earrings
Large and unforgettable these floral earrings feature oversized metal flower charms accented with round brilliant cut crystals. At just under $30, these budget earrings felt fresh and fun for the BAFTA Awards in February 2023.
5. Kiki McDonough Eden Citrine and Diamond Flower Drop Earrings
Designed in 18 carat yellow gold, these sunny sparklers were first spotted on Her Royal Highness in Northern Ireland in June 2016. A vibrant round citrine stone is surrounded by diamonds hanging from a diamond flower shaped stud. The impressive $3500 earrings have also appeared on the princess for Christmas Day 2017 and the Wimbledon Ladies Final in July 2022.
6. Asprey London Daisy Heritage Diamond Earrings
As one of Princess Kate’s most lavish and luxurious accessories, these $28,500 earrings are carefully worn by the mom of three for special occasions. The studs were first spotted on Kate’s lovely lobes in March 2020 for a visit to Ireland and most recently appeared at a St. David’s Day Parade in March 2023. The floral studs feature diamonds arranged to look like a daisy flower in bloom with individually set micro marquise diamond petals and a pavé diamond centre, all set in 18-carat white gold.
7. Accessorize Petal Drop Earrings
Worn on three occasions, Kate loves these delicate earrings for garden outings and casual wear. The cluster of rosy pink stones highlights the cheekbones and brings a natural soft glow to the face. Configured as a flower, the pink petals are suspended on a light reflecting circular stone. At around $10, the budget friendly earrings are perfect for pairing with springtime outfits.
Bonus: Queen’s Floral Spray Earrings
Gifted to the late Queen Elizabeth by her parents in 1945, the former monarch received a floral brooch and earring set on her 19th birthday from her parents Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and King George VI.
Elizabeth was seen in both the matching earring and brooch set for a portrait with her infant son Prince Charles in 1949. Kate has worn the loaned earrings from the Queen’s private collection to the Commonwealth Service in 2018 and for the Closing Ceremony of the General Assembly in Scotland in May 2021. She most recently wore the floral earrings featuring blue stones, rubies and diamonds to the Platinum Jubilee pageant in 2022. The earrings showcase scrolling gold leaves with a diamond flower at the center featuring a ruby pistil surrounded by blue petals.
