Kate Middleton enlisted the help of royal jewelers G Collins and Sons in order to create this stunning set. The $22,000 set of earrings and necklace are similar in design to Princess Diana’s emerald pieces. The dazzlingly blue tanzanite set has been worn by Kate several times, including in 2011 around her marriage and in 2018 on a visit to Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

The Crown Orb

The Crown Jewels are some of the most prized possessions of the royal family. They include The Orb, which is not a piece that is worn, but it is still an important symbol on the monarchy ever since it was originally made for King Charles II in 1661. It is made of gold and 365 diamonds, 9 emeralds, 18 rubies, and 9 sapphires. The cross is held together by an amethyst and is topped with 368 pearls. Every monarch holds it during their coronation.
