The Princess of Wales has some of the most stunning royal jewellery, and nestled among the priceless pieces, heirlooms and modern-day luxury accessories is a pair of affordable earrings that she just can’t stop wearing. And I’ve literally just found them on sale with £50 off ahead of Black Friday. Merry Christmas to me.
Princess Kate and the Monica Vinader Siren Wire Gold Earrings are something of a love story, with the 42-year-old recycling them for all manner of royal engagements, be it formal events to more casual outings. They’ve been her accessory du jour with ballgowns and barn jackets, proving the earrings are an easy wear whatever the occasion, including for Christmas events and festive soirees.
Chances are, you already have them in your jewellery box, but if you don’t, this is a PSA to get clicking on the Monica Vinader Black Friday sale. The British jewellery brand currently has 50% off a range of gems for their Black Friday Daily Sale, and with the hefty discount, Kate’s earrings are just £76.20 / $106.80, reduced from £128 / $178.
Kate favours the elegant earrings with a green onyx, a stone that’s said to promote emotional balance, harmony and tranquility as well as self-love, confidence and patience. And of course, they’re a stylish way to give a nod to the festive season with their dark green hue and are crafted from 18k gold vermeil. The brand has plenty of complimentary pieces from the range, including a Siren ring, bracelet and stud earrings.
At the last count, Kate has worn these earrings on at least seven engagements, ranging from a visit to a forest school in London in 2018 to the 2017 St Patrick’s Day parade.
The mum-of-three is long time wearer of Monica Vinader, wearing it most recently to the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall a few weeks ago. Kate chose the beautiful Nura Pearl Necklace to wear to the event, accessorising it with a pair of Collingwood pearl earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana.
Kate’s pearl necklace is, handily, also heavily reduced for Black Friday, from £128 / $186 to £86.70 / $125.80. The 18k solid gold necklace, finished with a freshwater pearl pendant, is a classic piece of jewellery that clearly holds its own against the Princess of Wales’ more decadent jewellery pieces.
