On the 15th of September 2020, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) debuted a new pair of pink and gold gemstone earrings during a public engagement in London. They’re by Missoma. They’re the brand’s ‘Rhodochrosite Gold Mini Pyramid Charm Hoops’.
About the earrings:
The striking pink and gold earrings feature a hand-cut Rhodochrosite gemstone set in 18ct gold vermeil on Sterling silver suspended from a hoop. The gold vermeil surrounding the gemstone has a rough, organic texture while a repeating pyramid pattern decorates the hoops.
The natural pink rhodochrosite stone is a healing crystal that radiates love, compassion and all-around good vibes according to the designer.
