Kate Middleton wears the Kiki McDonough ‘Grace’ diamond stud earrings in white topaz.
The Kiki Grace studs are one of Kate’s most-worn earring styles, making them a popular pair in her jewellery box. The Princess has worn the Grace studs to 25+ public engagements/appearances since joining the Royal Family in 2011.
Kate wore the diamond earrings frequently in the early years of her marriage—I don’t think we’ve seen them since 2017. (They’re due a comeback if you ask me!)
About the Kiki McDonough Grace studs:
The simple-yet-striking earrings feature round white topaz gemstones encircled by sparkling diamonds. The style is sophisticated, understated and elegant. Very wearable.
The 9mm diameter earrings are set in 18ct white gold.
According to Kiki McDonough, the Grace is one of her most popular designs. It’s easy to see why. The designer describes the Grace studs as “simple and delicate earrings [that] can be worn every day.”

Does Kate Middleton own any other Kiki McDonough earrings?
Yes, Kate is very loyal to Kiki McDonough, the designer must be one of her favourites! The Princess owns and wears multiple pairs of Kiki’s colourful gemstone earrings.
I think at my last count, she had 18 pairs by the designer in her jewellery collection, including the famous Citrine drop earrings, which she wears frequently.
Kate chose the designer’s stunning pink morganite double drop earrings for her sister Pippa’s wedding in 2017.
In 2014, Kiki McDonough spoke to the Daily Mail Online about Kate wearing her earrings. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
She wears my pieces as they should be worn. She obviously enjoys wearing colour on her ears as opposed to pearls and diamonds all the time.’
[Kate] is a busy working mother like me, and I design jewellery that goes with that lifestyle. My designs have always reflected the way we live now, dashing from work to an event.‘I will quite often keep the same pair of earrings on for a week and they go with me wherever I am going (from the theatre to a football match) and that seems to be something that my clients appreciate.This is why the Grace earrings are so popular: because they’re so versatile. Like Kate and Kiki, women can wear them from desk to dinner and beyond.
