On her wedding day, Kate Middleton's jewelry was the perfect touch for her to assume the title of "The New People's Princess." She of course wore diamonds and jewels, but not too many. Defying the rumors that she wouldn't wear a tiara, Kate's "Something Borrowed" was the Cartier 'Halo? tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by The Queen. Made in 1936, it was purchased by King George VI for his wife, Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) three weeks before he succeeded his brother as King. The tiara was presented to The Queen, Elizabeth II by her mother on the occasion of her 18th birthday. As the tiara is part of the Crown Jewels, it can only be lent to Catherine, and will return there when she dies, or when the Queen requests.
But though she may be called "Princess Catherine" by the public, Kate is still very loyal to her family. And so she chose to wear earrings given to her by her parents as a wedding gift. Made by Robinson Pelham, the earrings are diamond-set stylised oak leaves with a pear shaped diamond set drop and a pav? set diamond acorn suspended in the centre. Inspiration for the design comes from the Middleton family's new coat of arms, which includes acorns and oak leaves.
Kate chose a wedding dress that didn't require a necklace, thus avoiding the need for heavy or elaborate jewels. As a result, she still looked like herself and in keeping with her desire to be a modest princess.
