Royal-approved jewellery doesn’t have to break the bank – Kate Middleton is a keen admirer of Monica Vinader, a brand celebrated for its affordable luxury and commitment to sustainability. The Princess of Wales’ favourite accessory designer, Monica Vinader, has just launched the Odyssey collection, their first fully traceable gemstone range, which is available now.
Kate has been seen sporting Monica Vinader pieces on numerous occasions. Most notably, Kate has donned the Siren Wire Earrings in Green Onyx multiple times and wore the Nura Pearl Necklace during a 2022 visit to Copenhagen.
Monica Vinader’s latest collection, Odyssey, features five designs made with beautifully faceted cuts of aquamarine, set in 100% recycled 18ct gold vermeil. Drawing inspiration from the depths of the ocean and the enchanting shade of blue, this summer-ready collection is mined by an all-female workforce at the Zimbaqua mine, as part of the brand’s Product Passport initiative.
The Odyssey Small Drop Earrings, retailing at £118, bear a resemblance to Kate’s £128 earrings but with an aquamarine twist. They’re understated enough for daily wear, yet they’ll add a splash of colour to any ensemble.
For a more glamorous touch, consider the Odyssey Cocktail Earrings, priced at £295. These will catch the light beautifully and are sure to attract plenty of compliments, reports the Mirror.
The Odyssey Open Ring, retailing at £150, is a signature style from Monica Vinader that evokes images of turquoise seas and gentle waves. It’s a standout piece that can be paired with existing gold jewellery in your collection for a sophisticated look.
We anticipate the Odyssey Necklace to be a hit with shoppers due to its stunning gemstone and adjustable 18k gold vermeil chain. Priced at £178, it would make a fantastic gift.
While the Odyssey collection is undeniably attractive, it may be too vibrant for some tastes. If you prefer more subtle pieces, this £50 Fine Beaded Chain Bracelet is available in 18k gold vermeil, rose gold or sterling silver. The Nura Keshi Pearl Huggie Earrings, priced at £98, are a charming choice if pearls are your go-to accessory.
Kate Middleton has also been spotted wearing Missoma jewellery – the Princess of Wales has chosen to wear these £98 Mini Pyramid Charm Hoop Earrings on numerous occasions. Delicate and understated, these earrings offer a unique twist on the traditional hoop design.
Designer jewellery can be found on Amazon – this Ted Baker Sarsa Crystal Drawstring Adjustable Bracelet is available for £30 and customers say it fits any wrist size.
