Queen Camilla’s earrings she gave to Kate Middleton are so special


The royal family has the most stunning collection of jewellery and we love to see what special piece they will be stepping out in during each royal engagement.

There’s no doubt about it, Queen Camilla has an incredible selection of jewels and has been championing brand Van Cleef & Arpels for many years, before its popularity grew to what it is today, loved by everyone from Reese Weatherspoon to Molly Mae Hague.

King Charles’ wife has many items from the brand; earrings, necklaces as well as bracelets.

She seems to favour the ‘Alhambra’ range which features lucky, clover style motifs.

Light yet bold, and super pretty, the mother-of-two is rarely without the style.

Kate’s jewellery

The Princess of Wales actually donned the popular brand back in 2020, at the BAFTAs. The dress code that year was sustainability, so Kate rewore a stunning Alexander McQueen gown she’d had for many years. But many honed in on her Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery. She sported the brand’s mother-of-pearl earrings from the Magic Alhambra collection, and they are hugely similar to a pair Camilla wore in 2015.

It got us thinking, although never confirmed officially, we wonder if Camilla may have gifted Kate these earrings? After all, Kate has only been wearing the brand relatively recently, often favouring high end brand Kiki McDonough.

However, the mother-of-three wasn’t pictured wearing the new piece of jewellery until two months after her royal nuptials.

The bracelet features a disc engraved with both of their monograms – on one side, a ‘C’ for Catherine and a coronet, and on the other, a ‘C’ for Camilla and a crown.
