Middletons kept wedding jewellery choices close to home



Kate Middleton kept her jewellery choice for her big day on Friday close to home, wearing earrings made by the wife of an MP from the Middleton family’s home county of Berkshire.

The earrings – which featured a diamond-set oak leaf and pavĂ©-set diamond acorn from the family’s new crest – were made by bespoke designer jewellery makers, Robinson Pelham. One of the co-founders of the company, Zoe Benyon, is the wife of Tory MP for Newbury, Richard Benyon.

The company received a commission for the jewellery from Carole and Michael Middleton, who wanted Kate – now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge – to wear her own family jewellery on the auspicious occasion.

The Benyons are close neighbours and friends of the Middleton family. Their link was emphasised by the fact that not only Kate’s jewellery, but the items worn by Carole and sister, Pippa, on the big day, were provided by Robinson Pelham. Pippa wore floral-look diamond earrings with her well-received dress, while Carole’s pendant and earrings came from the same stock.

And not to think the gentlemen were forgotten about either: Michael and Kate’s 23-year-old brother, James, were both kitted out with gold suit pins from the same company as well.

  1. Marriage is a very sacred moment for all people especially those with adult age.
    Many of the things they do especially the couple themselves, ranging from preparing the invitations,
    the wedding, and wedding dresses. But there is one which they prepared with special wedding jewellery.
