The Princess of Wales is celebrated for her immaculate fashion choices, with particular attention given to the finer details.
During her second public appearance of the year, at the Wimbledon men’s singles final, Kate’s choice of earrings immediately caught the eye of keen observers.
The ‘Sabine’ design from British brand By Pariah showcases an architectural twist on the classic hoop style, meticulously crafted from 14-carat gold vermeil and recycled sterling silver.
These earrings hold a sentimental significance as well, since they are named after the mother of By Pariah’s founder, Sophie Howard.
Naturally, Kate’s highly-anticipated appearance led to these earrings swiftly selling out and they are now only available for pre-order online.
The Princess’s choice of accessory underscores her commitment to supporting sustainable brands, a trend she has embraced since becoming a member of the Royal Family.
Below, we delve into Kate’s impressive selection of hoop earrings, ranging from a £5 Accessorize design to extravagant Cartier earrings estimated to be worth £30,000.
Since being launched in, By Pariah has garnered a loyal celebrity following.
Prior to Kate Middleton’s appearance, the ‘Sabine’ hoops had been worn by Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington Whiteley.
The chunky earrings are designed to be simple yet striking, seamlessly transitioning their wearer from day to night, much like other pieces from the brand.
‘My mum used to wear a lot of large sculptural earrings when I was little,’ Sophie told MailOnline.
‘They’re inspired by her and that’s why they’re called the Sabine Hoops, they’re named after her.
‘It’s completely surreal but so special to see Kate wearing them! I am so proud of our team and am deeply honoured and grateful for her support.’
Speaking of her brand’s ethos, she added: ‘By Pariah is rooted in versatility, each piece is designed to transform the wearer’s narrative and become an intrinsic part of their personal expression and identity,’ Sophie told Mail Online.
‘The brand name is drawn from and inspired by an article in the National Geographic, describing the Pariah parts of the Caribbean as the last frontier of natural beauty.
‘At the heart of By Pariah is a love of raw, natural materials and an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
‘Sustainability is woven into every aspect of the brand, ensuring each piece not only embodies luxury but also reflects conscientious craftsmanship.’
Certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, all pieces are made from 100 per cent recycled 14-carat gold or sterling silver, often incorporating natural, untreated precious or semi-precious stones.
Accessorize Twisted Circle Drops, £5
Kate wore budget-friendly earrings from high street brand Accessorize on six occasions between 2022 and 2022.
Costing just £5, these gold-tone earrings feature a hoop drop pendant with a textured, twisted surface that shimmers in the light.
Renowned for its high fashion appeal and affordable prices, Missoma is understandably on Kate’s radar.
She has acquired several pieces from the London-based brand, including its unique ‘Calima’ Chandelier Hoops, £139, which echo Colombia’s rich artistry and heritage.
Kate showcased some of her most extravagant earrings at SportsAid’s 40th anniversary dinner, held at Kensington Palace in 2016.
Cartier’s dazzling design, estimated to be worth a staggering £30,000, boasts a trio of hoops in rose, white and yellow gold, set with diamonds.
