Princess Kate made a surprise appearance at the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood this summer - and while her emerald green Veronica Beard trouser suit had everyone talking, it was her Cartier Trinity earrings I was dreaming about.
- The Princess of Wales wore a stunning pair of £3,000 Cartier earrings for a royal engagement this summer
- Kate also owns a lookalike pair from Missoma and they've just dropped in the Black Friday sale for £78 (or $123 in the US)
- The royal-approved brand has also been spotted on the likes of Meghan Markle, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez

Made from a trio of entwined white, yellow and rose gold, they’re a timeless piece that effortlessly elevates any outfit. But with a price tag of around £3,000, they're firmly in the wish list category for most of us.
Enter Missoma, the high street brand loved by royalty and fashion editors alike. Their Lucy Williams collection features a strikingly similar pair of hoops that give serious Cartier vibes for a fraction of the price. They're now just £78/$123 for the small size in the Black Friday sale. And the best part? Kate has them too.
Crafted with a mixed metal design in gold and silver, these crossover-style earrings are a chic lookalike of the Trinity style. They’re lightweight, versatile, and go with absolutely everything – the kind of jewellery you never want to take off.
With near-perfect five-star reviews, it’s clear they’re a favourite with shoppers, too. One customer wrote: "Love these. Haven’t taken them out since I got them. Great quality, perfect for everyday wear." While another said: "The perfect hoops! So happy with them, I’ve worn them so many times and received so many compliments. The perfect earring for all occasions."
Whether you're dressing up for dinner or throwing on a blazer for the office, these hoops add a touch of royal-approved polish to any look - and unlike the £3,000 version, they won’t require a second mortgage.
The Princess of Wales was pictured wearing them in January during a visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, styling them with a bespoke Blazé Milano coat worn over a burgundy roll neck and matching skirt. She completed the look with Asprey London's Morgan Bag, also in burgundy.
Kate has quite the Missoma collection, as she's also been spotted wearing the Pyramid Charm Hoops, which feature stunning pink rhodochrosite gemstones, and the Zenyu Fan Chandelier Hoop Earrings, which come with bobble-trimmed charms. Right now they're all in the Black Friday sale, so get them for less while you can.
If you're dreaming about those Cartier hoops, but want to spend even less, I've also found this interlocking pair at another royal approved brand with a Black Friday sale, Orelia. Just £32/$45, they have a chunky design and stud fastening for a stylish finishing touch to any outfit.
