We first spotted the Princess wearing the earrings in June 2023, during a visit to Riversley Park Children’s Health Centre. She’s since worn the elegant drops on four other public outings, including recent visits to the Natural History Museum (September 2025) and Home-Start Oxford (October 2025, pictured).

The earrings have also appeared in one of the Princess’s most personal and significant moments—she chose to wear them in the video message she recorded about her cancer journey in 2024, confirming that she had completed her course of chemotherapy (below).

The simple drop silhouette—around 26mm long and 8.5mm wide—makes them a refined and versatile choice for both day and evening wear.

The gemstones are naturally occurring, chosen for their exceptional quality, and may vary slightly in shade, adding to the individuality of each pair.
