Daniella Draper Mini Cupid Hoop Earrings in Gold (With Removable Shamrock Charms)

Kate Middleton owns Daniella Draper’s Mini Cupid Hoop Earrings in 9ct yellow gold. Sometimes, she pairs them with the jeweller’s Baby Shamrock charms:

The Princess debuted the earrings in March 2020 during her visit to the Republic of Ireland. She first wore them while visiting Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health in Dublin, and continued to wear them throughout the royal tour.

Since then, they’ve become a mainstay in her jewellery collection, worn more than a dozen times over the last five years.

Kate frequently wears the hoops plain, without any charms:

She’ll often add the shamrock charms for engagements on both sides of the Irish border, and for occasions connected to Irish culture, like St Patrick’s Day.

In her ears, are the Daniella Draper gold hoop earrings and Shamrock charms.

Most recently, she was photographed wearing the hoops and shamrock charms in October 2025, during a series of engagements in Northern Ireland (above).

About the Mini Cupid Hoops

Crafted from 9ct yellow gold, Daniella Draper’s Mini Cupid Hoops are designed with an organic, slightly irregular shape that gives them a relaxed, handcrafted feel.

The small size makes them an ideal choice for everyday wear.

Each earring is butterfly mark certified, reflecting the brand’s commitment to ethical production.

Fun fact: The Princess also owns the “Luxury” version of these earrings, which are set with three diamonds.

Can I Buy Kate’s Earrings?

Yes. The Daniella Draper Mini Cupid Hoops are currently available to purchase from the designer’s website, priced at £215.

While the exact Shamrock charms are discontinued, the brand’s Mini Star Charms are a playful alternative (£270).

Kate Middleton’s Daniella Draper collection:

Kate has built a small collection of Daniella Draper pieces in recent years. The Princess owns five gold necklaces—including personalised pendants engraved with her children’s initials (below)—a gold and diamond circle pendant, and multiple pairs of earrings.

I feel the brand’s relaxed, organic designs soften Kate’s polished style. They’re modern, youthful and approachable.
