Kate Middleton wears the Mappin & Webb Empress Diamond Necklace in 18ct white gold.
We think the Princess added the diamond necklace to her jewellery collection in 2014. She debuted the Empress pendant during a visit to the Tower of London in the August of that year.
We’ve seen her wear the sparkling necklace at 18 public events to date, most recently, the Princess paired the item with a white suit for the Rugby World Cup.
