Mouawad Demi Parure

Personal Jewels 2/?

Unfortunately gifts are not usually publicized anymore but sometimes assumptions can be made.

In December 2011 for the Sun Military Awards, Catherine wore a diamond and ruby necklace with a matching bracelet. This set of jewels was made by Mouawad and is assumed to have been a wedding present to the Duchess. It’s giver is not known. The set hasn’t been worn since but last year for the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey, Catherine wore for the first time the matching earrings for the set.

The necklace and earrings feature diamond circles with a modern style fringe from which are suspended ruby clusters in the shape of flowers. The bracelet consists of alternating diamond circles and ruby clusters.

Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour 2022

This is the first time we've seen Kate wear this pair of earrings in public," Lauren Kiehna, writer of The Court Jeweller blog, tells PEOPLE, explaining why it was such a significant reveal.

For the last ten years, Kate has worn a smaller pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that there widely believed to have been fashioned using the very same pair that Kate wore for Thursday's parade. Because the original pair had not been seen since Diana's death, the rumor continued to circulate, although Kiehna was always adamant that the earrings were two separate pairs.

Diana had several sapphires in her jewelry collection. She wore these particular earrings on several occasions including to the Met Gala in New York in 1996 and also during a visit to Canada in 1991, both times paired with a sapphire and pearl choker.

The giant sapphire was originally a brooch, gifted to Diana by the Queen Mother as a wedding present. It later became the central piece of the seven-stranded pearl necklace that became a favorite of Diana's — another piece that Kate may well have inherited but has not yet been seen.

While it's not clear why Kate waited until now to wear the earrings publicly, she clearly has her favorites and the smaller ones may just be easier to wear. As Trooping the Colour is so synonymous with marking history and the line of succession, it may well be that Kate thought it was the perfect time for their debut. Prince Louis' outfit also took a nostalgic turn wearing a sailor suit that his father Prince William had worn at the same event 37 years ago.

One sapphire piece of jewelry that Kate never takes off is her famous sapphire and diamond cluster engagement ring, which also belonged to her late mother-in-law. William proposed to Kate with it in 2010. The ring's central faceted oval Ceylon sapphire is estimated to be 12 carats and is surrounded by 14 round diamonds.

The most glamorous royal tiaras through the years

The history of royal tiaras is as long and fascinating as the headgear is sparkling. Take the tiaras worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, for instance. She married Prince Charles wearing a family heirloom of her own aristocratic lineage, the Spencer tiara, but the Cambridge Lovers’ Knot—with its 19 diamond arches and swinging pearls—was said to be among her favourites. (She famously teamed it with Catherine Walker’s pearl- and sequin-studded Elvis dress for a state dinner in 1989.) Originally commissioned by Queen Mary, the Cambridge Lovers’ Knot was passed down to her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, and has most recently been seen on the head of the Duchess of Cambridge. Other British royal family sparklers of note include the Lotus Flower tiara—a favourite of Princess Margaret’s, the Egyptian-style headpiece originally belonged to the Queen Mother—and the Cartier Halo Scroll, which dates back to 1936 and was worn by the Duchess of Cambridge on her wedding day.

Among the oldest tiaras still in use is the Swedish royal family’s Cameo Tiara—a rich gold diadem, with seven delicate cameos framed in opulent seed pearl accents—was gifted to Empress Joséphine by Napoleon in 1809. The empress’s granddaughter, Josephine of Leuchtenberg, inherited it and took it with her into the Swedish royal family when she wed the future King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway. It has since been worn by many of the women in the household of King Carl Gustaf, from Princess Birgitta’s 1961 nuptials to Princess Victoria’s own wedding in 2010.

Not all royal households take the same inheritance approach to their gems though. The Japanese imperial household traditionally provides each family member a tiara of their own, either when they marry into the family, or when they come of age at 20. The most recent addition to the royal parure was Princess Kako of Akishino coming of age gift, an all-white scroll motif and diamond cluster set—including matching earrings, a brooch, bracelet, necklace and, of course, tiara—designed by Mikimoto. Here, Vogue dives into the treasure trove of royal tiaras.
