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 pavé-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.

Costume jewellery revival as royal wedding approaches. Costume Jewellery replicas of

Kate Middleton's engagement ring are fast becoming some of the high street's biggest sellers.


As the country gears up to celebrate the royal nuptials this Friday, 29 April, women are flocking to snap 
up a ring that makes them feel like a princess, without spending a royal fortune.  

The sapphire and diamond ring which now adorns the finger of Prince Williams' bride-to-be was chosen 
Princess Diana prior to her wedding ceremony in 1981.


The ring, which features a large sapphire with smaller diamonds clustered around the central stone, was 
purchased for Diana for £28,500 from royal jewellers Garrard. It is now said to be worth more than £250,000, but in terms of its history, is priceless.


Debenhams spokeswoman Vicky Hewitt said, “It’s clear that women have been captivated by the romance of the 
occasion.  They want the chance to look like a princess too — for a fraction of the price.” 

It's not just costume rings that are enjoying a spike in interest – women are also turning to antique-style 
rose gold bracelets, lockets and earrings set with coloured stones resembling sapphires.


Michael Arnstein, president of the National Sapphire Company, recently reported that sales of sapphires were up by 300 per cent following the unveiling of Kate Middleton's ring.

Enjoy the celebrations tomorrow, after all we are all invited to the The Wedding of the Century!
