Kate Middleton Debuts Her New Earrings

She did it again! Kate Middleton is right on trend; this week, with a pair of new earrings, pear shaped blue tanzanite and diamond to be exact, with a matching necklace. That’s right! The Duchess has once again, chosen to wear blue colored jewels to a highly publicized event. Vivid blue gems seem to be her favorite stone of choice, not to mention they go perfectly with her sapphire engagement ring.

 

A Tradition Of Sapphires

A few months ago, Prince William gave Kate a pair of blue sapphire and diamond earrings that once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. Being the fashion savvy Duchess that she is, Kate had the magnificent studs altered into drop earrings for a more modern look. We love how she infuses tradition with current fashions, she knows she’s on trend. Sapphires are now the number 2 stone choice for engagement rings, right behind diamonds, we have Kate to thank for the sapphire revival that has taken the current jewelry scene by storm.

Royalty And Sapphires 

But why blue, you might ask. British royalty have always adorned themselves with spectacular blue stones. The Queen herself has many prized jewelry pieces featuring blue sapphires and diamonds. Her daughter, Princess Anne , was married to Captain Phillips with a blue sapphire and diamond ring as well. The tradition lives on today.

Pear shaped sapphires are the perfect way to keep tradition alive while updating an old look. The sapphires worn by royalty are often oval or round in shape,a lovely pear shape is nontraditional. This fresh take incorporates the timeless blue of sapphires and the appeal of trendsetting shapes. Something old and something new, it’s the perfect combination. We’ve created sapphire studs that resemble the ones Kate is wearing; they’re a classic style you can wear anywhere. You can now wear jewelry like royalty too!
