Since the pandemic began – and especially since the passing of Prince Philip – Queen Elizabeth has rarely been seen in public. But Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, continue to make appearances, with Kate’s impeccable style offering inspiration for some truly head-turning dazzle.

For anyone who wishes to be as radiant as the duchess, STYLE has hand-picked some exquisite jewellery pieces with positive, harmonious energy, from Cartier’s Hemis necklace to Boucheron’s Taille Émeraude necklace and Chaument’s Skyline brooch.

Boucheron

The Taille Émeraude necklace in white gold grabs the eye with its alluring 8.56ct emerald-cut heliodor beryl, a citrine, rock crystal and citrine beads with diamonds, HK$1.33 million (US$171,400).

Chaumet

Inspired by modern city landscapes, the yellow gold Skyline brooch shows off edgy angles and curves, shimmering with majestically cut diamonds and one cushion-cut E VVS1 diamond of 3.02ct. Price upon request.

Cartier

Reimagining the beauty of nature, the Hemis necklace is inspired by the latticed pelt of Indian leopards, recreated with kunzite, opals and diamonds. Price upon request.

Graff

Proving its founder’s reputation as the “King of Diamonds”, Graff skilfully recreates painter Cy Twombly’s strokes into multi-shaped ruby and diamond earrings with a total of 11.92ct of rubies and 4.27ct of diamonds. Price upon request.
