From her new luxurious tri-colored Cartier hoops priced at $2000 to her $40 Butler and Wilson drops, Kate’s accessories spanned the spectrum from extravagant to affordable last year.
What pieces did the princess debut in 2025 and what were the most and least expensive pieces added to her jewelry armoire?
Here are 10 of Kate Middleton’s New Jewelry Items Worn in 2025:
1. Katherine James Vintage Pearl Earrings
Priced at $1367, Kate debuted these hefty mega-sized pearl earrings with an aquatic aesthetic in February 2025. With an appearance similar to a coral reef, these striking 18-carat yellow gold studs boast omega backings for comfortable wear. Five creamy lustrous pearls makes this earring duo a real statement pair. 
2. Kiki McDonough Classics Blue Topaz Pear Drops
For sale at $1143, these timeless pear drops feature a blue topaz stone set in 18-carat yellow gold. Versatile and classic, these subtle blue topaz gemstone earrings are perfect for adding a hint of glamour to any outfit. The princess debuted the earrings in Scotland in April 2025. (Similar HERE)
3. Butler & Wilson Daisy Drop Earrings
One of Kate’s most surprising accessories of the year were these Daisy Drops worn during Christmas season at the Ever After Garden in December 2025. Hailing from a set including a floral bracelet worn by Her Royal Highness back in September 2009, this pair of costume earrings constructed of Austrian crystals is priced at a mere $37. Perhaps the princess will wear the Daisy Drop necklace next? (Kate’s bracelet HERE and necklace HERE)
4. Susan Caplan Vintage Renaissance Revival Pearl Earrings
These art deco earrings are gold plated and boast a cross pattern of luminous faux pearls; available as clip-ons or for pierced ears, these $100 studs were first seen on the princess at the VE Day 80th Anniversary concert in May 2025. Shop at Nordstrom HERE
5. Cartier Trinity Classic Modal Hoop Earrings
A real MVP in the princess’ 2025 accessories closet, these white, rose and yellow gold hoops were worn by the royal beauty on six occasions starting in January 2025 for a visit to Royal Marsden Hospital. Similar in style to her Cartier trinity earrings (last seen in 2017), these luxe ear ornaments will likely return for a rewear in 2026. 
6. Shyla London Rosalia Hoop Earrings in Lapis
At $94, these elegant hoops are perfect for any occasion. Practical but pretty, these delicate earrings are crafted with round lapis stones set in braided hoops and designed of 22-carat gold. Kate is so fond of the Rosalia hoops she owns them in both Lapis and Pearl. The princess premiered the blue earrings at a rugby match at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in March 2025.
7. Daniella Draper 8 Diamond Luxury Forever Trace Necklace
Worn for the first time in July 2025 at Wimbledon, this necklace was one of Kate’s priciest new accessories worn in 2025. Costing $3772, this trendy necklace is made of recycled 9-carat yellow gold and handset with 8 sparkling diamonds. Showcasing the birthstone of Prince Louis who was born in April 2018 (diamond), the stunning necklace will likely remerge in Kate’s outfit repertoire in 2016. Replikate HERE
8. Halcyon Days Maya Diamond Bangle
Worn for the first time in July 2025 at the Wimbledon Ladies Final Match, this salamander torque bangle is crafted from 18-carat gold plated brass with glistening glass cabochons at either end. Adjustable and comfortable, this $295 bangle is perfect for summertime engagements. Kate loves Halcyon bangles so much that she owns three other bracelets from the brand.
9. Ruby and Diamond Drop Earrings Unidentified
First seen on the princess for VE Day Anniversary celebrations in May 2025, these ruby drops have an unknown provenance. The sparklers feature three dazzling hanging diamonds with a main round ruby stone drop encircled by smaller diamonds. The earrings are part of a suite which was seen at the Welcome Ceremony for President Trump in September; the earrings also appeared for Armistice Day in November 2025. Replikate HERE
10. Oriental Circlet Tiara
One of Kate’s sartorial highlights in 2025 saw the princess wear a dazzling purple ombre cape gown by Jenny Packham for the German State Banquet in December. For this glitzy affair, Kate wore the Queen’s chandelier earrings and debuted a new tiara from the royal vault; the princess wore this dazzling lotus flower motif crown featuring over 2500 diamonds and multiple rubies. A priceless piece in the British Royal Jewelry Collection, the estimated value of this tiara is 8 million dollars.
