SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND EARRINGS
Kate already wears Princess Diana’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring, and now the Duchess of Cambridge has received more jewels from her husband’s late mother. Prince William, 29, has given his 29-year-old bride a pair of Diana’s favorite earrings, also made of sapphire and diamonds. “Now that they’re married, William wanted her to have some of his mother’s favorite pieces,” an insider tells The Daily Mail. The earrings are sapphire surrounded by 10 brilliant diamonds. Ever the fashionista, the Duchess opted to give the earrings a modern twist by having the studs remodeled into drop earrings. Believed to be her most prized set of jewels, Diana wore them quite frequently before her death in 1997.
