Kate Middleton, as a member of the royal family, has access to a stunning array of expensive jewelry.

She pulls from her personal collection as well as pieces loaned to her.

Let’s take a closer look at the Duchess of Cambridge’s top 10 most extravagant and valuable jewelry pieces.

1.

Statement Earrings by Kiki McDonagh
Kate owns an impressive collection of 12 pairs of earrings from designer Kiki McDonagh.

One particular pair made from large pink tourmalines and green amethysts stands out.

These extravagant earrings carry a hefty price tag of over $16,000.

2.

Gold Charm Necklace by Asprey
For more understated day events, Kate often chooses her gold charm necklace by British jeweler Asprey.

This necklace holds sentimental value as it features charms paying homage to her family’s coat of arms, including a diamond-encrusted acorn, an oak leaf, and a diamond-studded mushroom.

Valued at approximately $17,000, it is one of her go-to pieces.

3.

Earrings and Necklace Set by Van Cleef & Arpels
At the British Academy Film Awards ceremony in February 2020, royal fans were captivated by Kate’s mother-of-pearl earrings and necklace set.

Delicate gold chains hold the pieces together, creating a unique addition to her classic jewelry collection.

Created by French luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels, this set costs just over $26,000.

4.

Chandelier Earrings for Special Events
Kate saves her most luxurious pieces for special occasions, such as the James Bond Spectre film premiere in 2015.

She wore dazzling chandelier earrings set with five teardrop-shaped blue topaz stones surrounded by tiny diamonds.

These earrings are estimated to be worth over $26,000 and perfectly complemented her pale blue gown.

5.

Wedding Earrings
Kate’s wedding earrings hold a special place on this list.

Custom-made by her parents as a wedding gift, they feature oak leaves and acorns, symbols that also appear on the Middleton family coat of arms.

These delicate drop earrings reportedly cost $27,500 and were the only jewelry Kate wore on her big day, aside from her tiara and wedding ring.

6.

Tanzanite Earring and Necklace Set
While sapphires are known to be one of Kate’s favorite gemstones, she also has a fondness for tanzanite.

This earring and necklace set, featuring the rare blue stone found only in Tanzania, is valued at $32,000.

The addition of delicate diamonds enhances its beauty and complements Kate’s engagement ring.

7.

Asprey Daisy Heritage Earrings
Kate’s Asprey Daisy Heritage Earrings are simple yet elegant.

Made from Marquis cut diamond petals with a pavé diamond center, these understated earrings gained popularity when she wore them during one of her face-to-face engagements in early 2020.

Usually priced at just over $31,000, they quickly sold out after being spotted on Kate.

8.

Cartier Trinity Necklace and Earrings Set
Taking third place on this list is one of Kate’s contemporary and incredibly expensive jewelry sets.

Designed by Cartier, the Trinity Necklace features intertwined circles of white, yellow, and rose gold, all adorned with diamonds.

The matching earrings complete the set.

Valued at an astronomical $160,000, Kate reserves these pieces for rare occasions.

9.

Gold Bracelet and Earring Set
This seemingly unassuming set holds a significant price tag.

Gifted to Kate by the royal family after her marriage to Prince William in 2011, the white and yellow gold diamond bracelet and earring set has become one of her staple jewelry pieces.

The bracelet alone is estimated to be worth more than $275,000.

10.

Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring

Originally worn by Princess Diana, this iconic ring features a 12-carat sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, all set in 18-carat white gold.

Initially valued at $39,000, it is now estimated to be worth over $550,000.

Kate Middleton’s collection of exquisite jewelry showcases her timeless elegance and impeccable taste.

Whether she opts for extravagant statement pieces or more understated classics, her choices never fail to captivate and inspire.
