One of the things I can't resist is a great royal buy, and if you're the same I have some excellent news: one of the Princess of Wales's most-worn jewellery looks is still available to shop.
Princess Kate has her her pick of stunning royal jewellery, and nestled among the priceless pieces and luxury accessories is a pair of affordable earrings that she just can't stop wearing: Monica Vinader's 'Siren' Wire Gold Earrings, £128 / $178. And if you are a first-time Monica Vinader shopper, use the code: HELLO10 for 10% off.
You can also shop the earrings at John Lewis in the UK and in the US at Nordstrom, too.
Monica Vinader Siren Wire Gold Earrings
Kate's elegant earrings, crafted from 18k gold vermeil, feature green onyx, a stone that's said to promote emotional balance, harmony and tranquility as well as self-love, confidence and patience. At the last count, the Princess of Wales has worn these earrings on at least seven engagements, ranging from a visit to a forest school in London in 2018 to the St Patrick's Day parade eight years ago.
Shoppers, too, love them. I scoured the Nordstrom reviews and the most-repeated words seemed to be 'elegant', 'gorgeous' and 'pretty'. One reviewer wrote: "Love these. Worth the investment. High quality and very pretty." and another said, "The color is absolutely gorgeous and has a magical glow in sunlight."
Princess Kate's 'Siren' earrings - shop lookalikes
While Princess Kate's actual earrings are among her most affordable, you still might want something at a slightly lower price point. Understandable - which is why I went searching for some lookalikes that will add the same elegance to your outfits.
Amazon Gold-Plated Crystal Dangle Drop Earrings

Princess Kate is a fan of huggie styles, and I think this look is one that would fit right in with the jewellery she regularly wears.
Accessorize 14ct Gold-Plated Aventurine Drop Earrings
© AccessorizeI also found a similar pair at Accessorize for £18 / $27. The 14ct gold plated earrings are in the same drop style, with a green aventurine stone, and could almost pass for Princess Kate's!

"It's a huge honour to see high-profile women wearing my pieces and how they style and make them their own."
Princess Kate is long time fan of the brand, wearing it most recently to the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in November 2024. Kate chose the beautiful Nura Pearl Necklace to wear to the event, accessorising it with a pair of Collingwood pearl earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana.
The 18k solid gold necklace, finished with a freshwater pearl pendant, is a classic piece of jewellery that clearly holds its own against the Princess of Wales' more decadent jewellery pieces.
How to style Princess Kate's Monica Vinader 'Siren' earrings
I personally think the earrings are so gorgeous, and versatile, too - they're dressy enough to wear to the most elegant of occasions, and restrained enough to wear with a white tee shirt and jeans.
The Princess would certainly seem to agree with me - she's recycled them for all kinds of royal engagements, whether formal events or a more casual outings. The 43-year-old royal is clearly in love with them as they've been her go-to accessory with both ballgowns and barn jackets. I really don't need any more proof that the earrings are an easy wear anytime, day or night.
