This weekend, Kate Middleton made an appearance at the Annual Festival of Remembrance at London’s Royal Albert Hall. For the occasion, Kate wore what we suspect is her Alexander McQueen Black Flared Wool Coat paired with pearl accessories.
While the Alexander McQueen coat has sold out, her exact pearl necklace by British jewellery brand Monica Vinader is still in stock and shoppers can get their hands on it here. The Nura Pearl Necklace is one of the more affordable pieces in Kate Middleton’s jewellery collection, retailing for £128, however, shoppers eager to replicate her chic look without spending more than £100 have found a smart way to do so for £58 less.
The necklace is made up of two parts – an 18k gold vermeil pearl charm and the chain. By buying the pearl charm separately for £70, you can add it to any existing gold chain you may already own. If you don’t have one, this £16.20 gold-plated chain from Amazon is a good option, with customers praising its resistance to tarnishing.
The accessory comes highly recommended by shoppers, many of whom say they’ve received ‘so many compliments’ since wearing it. Its versatility makes it ideal for accessorising almost anything in your wardrobe.
One customer commended it for being delicate, writing: “This necklace is just beautiful. It can be worn as a formal or informal piece. Looks fab with jeans and a t-shirt.”
Another shared their experience, stating: “I wore this on holiday out for dinner and had some lovely compliments. The pearl is the perfect size and I love the way it’s not a perfect circle.”
A satisfied customer wrote: “The colours in the pearl are beautiful and as it catches the light, you can see an iridescent pale pink. The pearl is set well onto the gold and feels sturdy with no concerns regarding durability. It has worked with many different outfits, both dressed up or more casual and a great addition to my jewellery box.”
However, one shopper did mention a minor issue: “The only negative is the necklace is a bit short, sitting at collarbone level so if you prefer a longer necklace, I would go for a longer chain.”
The Freshwater Pearl Pendant Necklace available at Marks and Spencer for £20 provides a similar style to Monica Vinader’s luxury items. Kate Middleton also favours Monica Vinader’s earring designs, being seen wearing the 18k Gold Vermeil and Green Onyx Siren Wire Earrings, which carry a price tag of £128.
