Laura Lombardi Portrait 14kt gold-plated chain necklace

Kate Middleton wears the Laura Lombardi ‘Portrait’ gold-plated chain necklace.

The Princess has stepped out out not once but twice in the gold-plated chunky chain. The first time we caught a glimpse of this standout piece was during her visit to Boston in 2022. Most recently, she adorned it once again for a visit to a textile mill in 2023.

About the Laura Lombardi Portrait Necklace:

Handcrafted from recycled gold-plated brass, this chunky linked necklace is a testament to Laura Lombardi’s commitment to both style and sustainability. The Portrait necklace is an exercise in high-quality craftsmanship, plated in 14kt gold using a zero-waste technique.

This fashion-forward piece secures with an oversized T-bar, adding an extra dash of sophistication to its already luxurious vibe.

We believe Kate fastens the necklace with the T-bar at the back.

Key Details:

  • COLOUR: Gold
  • COMPOSITION: Brass
  • COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
  • 18-inch chain
  • T-bar fastening
