The Princess of Wales owns a pair of Kiki McDonough’s Cushion Drop earrings in Morganite—a soft pink gemstone. She wears the drops suspended from a white gold and diamond hoop.
The Princess started wearing the earrings in 2015 and has worn them more than 10 times in public, to date (often with pink outfits).
Kate debuted the earrings two months before Princess Charlotte was born—I often wonder if somebody knew the Princess was expecting a girl and bought her the earrings as a gift. Just a theory!
About the morganite drops:
The pink gemstones are set in 18ct white gold. The subtle pink hue of the stone gives them a soft and feminine appeal.
Same earrings, different colours:
Did you know, the Princess owns another three pairs of these cushion drops set with different colourful gems? As well as morganite pink, Kate owns them in yellow citrine/gold, white topaz/white gold, and green amethyst/gold.
All of the earrings can be purchased with 18ct gold/white gold and diamond hoops or, the hoops and cushion drops can be purchased separately, enabling you to mix and match as you please.
Where to buy Kiki McDonough jewellery:
You can buy the earrings from Kiki.co.uk, Kiki McDonough’s official website. The company offers worldwide delivery.
RRP: £3,500 for the pink morganite gemstones with diamond hoops .
Kate Middleton wearing Kiki McDonough Jewellery:

About Kiki McDonough:
Kiki McDonough is famous for her striking colour combinations and timeless, wearable designs. Kiki only uses 18ct gold/white gold for her jewellery.
In November 2014, Kiki McDonough gave an interview to the Daily Mail Online about the then-Duchess wearing her earrings. She said:
‘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.’
