Kate Middleton Jewellery Styles You Can Totally Copy
Kate Middleton’s approach to jewellery is all about keeping it modern, fresh and oh-so-chic. Whereas the Queen wears vintage pieces from the Crown Jewels and her own vast private collection as symbols of her position as monarch, Kate embraces a modern style which combines old and new.
Parallel to her collection of clothes, the Duchess of Cambridge is known for choosing jewellery from both budget and luxury retailers alike. Her jewels range from priceless to 16 pounds (yep!). Her unexpected mix of vintage, modern, high-end, and low-end makes her style markedly unique. Eshly Jewellery has put together a breakdown of Kate Middleton’s top seven go-to jewellery styles with tips on how you can replicate them.
Seven Kate Middleton Jewellery Styles and How to Get Them
1. Perfect in Pearls
Kate’s a big fan of pearls. Pearls seem to pull together any outfit in a way that’s classy, but not overdone. Kate Middleton’s Annoushka pearl drop earrings are undoubtedly her favourites, as she wears them quite often.
Here are a few other ways in which the modern royal knows how to work the pearl earring.

2. Cushion-Cut Class
We know the Royal Family owns lots of diamond jewellery, but Kate opts for smaller, more delicate pieces when she's out on formal occasions. She owns many pairs of cushion-cut gemstone drop earrings. They are classic, elegant and add just a hint of sparkle to her ensembles.

3. Legendary Layering of Necklaces
Kate loves to layer necklaces, mixing short and long necklaces together in one look. She especially likes to punctuate the layering with a long pendant necklace. To get this look, simply layer 3 gold chains. One chain should be collar length (36 cm) or choker length (41cm), the second should be princess length (46cm), and the chain with pendant should be short matinee length (51cm). Here’s an informative article explaining different necklace lengths.

In addition to gem and disk pendants, the Duchess loves wearing monogram round disk necklaces personalized with her children’s initials. Here’s how she layers three chains using a monogrammed disk necklace as the longest anchoring necklace.
4. Tears of Joy
The teardrop shape is a staple in Kate’s jewellery collection. This shape is great for those with a heart-shaped face. Earrings that are wider at the bottom than the top help fill in the lower portion of the face, so the face looks more balanced.

Kate knows how to rock the rock. Classic and timeless, diamond stud earrings are the ultimate accessory- they complete any jewellery collection. The simplicity of stud earrings ensure they are versatile enough to be worn every day but sparkly enough to be eye-catching.
