The Princess of Wales has a jewelry case filled with priceless baubles, royal heirlooms and stunning statement gems; while she regularly splurges and showcases plenty of pearl accessories, she’s also been known to wear dazzling diamond earrings for special events in the royal calendar.
From Queen Elizabeth’s most glamorous chandelier earrings to diamond studs the princess received as an anniversary gift from William, these are the most opulent and expensive earrings the princess has ever worn.
Here are 6 of Kate Middleton’s Most Expensive Diamond Earrings Ranked by Cost:
1. Asprey London Emerald and Diamond Halo Earrings, $11,375
With an estimated value of $11,375 these earrings are one of Kate’s most eye-catching pairs. Defined by glossy green emeralds totaling 1.27 carats (2 on each pair) as well as 72 brilliant diamonds (0.79 carats), these sparklers have only appeared on the princess once during the Earthshot Prize Awards held in Boston in December 2022.
2. Asprey London Daisy Heritage Diamond Earrings, $26,000
Inspired by British wildflowers, these glossy earrings are handcrafted with individually set micro marquise diamond petals and a pavé diamond centre designed in 18-carat white gold. Boasting a design representing the English daisy flower, the marquise diamond petals catch and reflect the light creating more intense shine and sparkle.
In addition, the princess owns the Asprey London Daisy Heritage Diamond Pendant Necklace which is estimated to cost around $13,000. Both the earrings and necklace are believed to have been gifted to the princess from her husband in honor of their 10 year wedding anniversary.
The mom of three has appeared in the earrings on two confirmed occasions –for a Royal Visit to Ireland in March 2020 and the St. David’s Day parade in March 2023. She’s also believed to have worn the earrings for official 10 year anniversary portraits alongside Prince William taken at Kensington Palace by photographer Chris Floyd in April 2021.
3. Cartier Diamond Trinity Hoop Earrings, $49,000
Striking in their simplicity and stunning in their unique design, these earrings radiate maximum luxury. The tricolor hoops are mesmerizing with glistening diamonds totaling 7.35 carats. A perfect example of the fine craftsmanship of Cartier –the delicate diamond hoops are alluring and unforgettable. The princess is such a fan of the interlocking hoop design that she recently stepped out in a similar pair from the high-end French jeweler — the Cartier Trinity Classic Model earrings.
Princess Kate has worn the earrings on one royal occasion — to the SportsAid Gala in June 2016.
