The Poor Man’s Guide to Looking Like Kate Middleton

The Duchess of Cambridge mixes up her jewelry; sometimes she’ll buy reasonably-priced pieces that the everyday girl can afford and sometimes she does the royal thing and wears something from the Queen’s private collection. That’s the magic of Kate, my friends. Below are some ways to replicate.

Manhattan, December 2014

Kate debuted these emerald and diamond earrings (which are part of a parure, which includes a necklace and a bracelet) to a gala in support of her and Williams alma mater, St. Andrews University at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She wore just the emerald portion as earrings and the necklace for years later at the BAFTA awards.

P.S. – the parure is a “private gift,” which means we’re not going to get much information on it.
