Kate Middleton wears the Cassandra Goad ‘Temple of Heaven’ earrings in gold.
The Princess first wore the striking chandelier earrings before joining the royal family at a friend’s wedding in 2010. They reappeared the following year during her first overseas royal tour with Prince William, when she wore them to a reception at the British Consul-General’s residence in Los Angeles.
Since then, the earrings have become one of her go-to statement accessories, often chosen for formal occasions and evening engagements. Over the years, she’s worn them more than a dozen times.
Most recently, the Princess wore the gold design in October 2025 for a meeting with the Crown Prince and Princess of Jordan at Windsor Castle (pictured above).
About the Temple of Heaven Earrings:
Cassandra Goad’s Temple of Heaven earrings are among the designer’s most iconic creations.
Crafted in gold, the intricate chandelier design draws inspiration from the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, built by the Emperor of China, traditionally regarded as the “Son of Heaven” and the divine intermediary between the celestial and earthly realms.
These earrings form part of Goad’s “Journey to China” collection and showcase the jeweller’s signature fusion of history, travel and artistry.
Can I buy the earrings?
Yes. The Temple of Heaven Chandelier Earrings remain available to purchase from Cassandra Goad’s official website and at the brand’s Chelsea boutique.
They retail for £3,745 / $5,218.
Kate’s Cassandra Goad Collection:
Kate owns one more item from the designer, the Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings.
Interestingly, in December 2021, photographers spotted Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, browsing the Cassandra Goad flagship boutique in Chelsea—perhaps selecting another piece from the same jeweller for one of her daughters.
