Earlier this month, Katedebuted a pair of dazzling pair of sapphire and diamond earringsthat once belonged to Princess Diana at Trooping the Color.
“This is the first time we’ve seen Kate wear this pair of earrings in public,” Lauren Kiehna, writer ofThe Court Jewellerblog, tells PEOPLE, explaining why it was such a significant reveal.
For the last ten years, Kate has worn a smaller pair of sapphire and diamond earrings that there widely believed to have been fashioned using the very same pair that Kate wore for Thursday’s parade. Because the original pair had not been seen since Diana’s death, the rumor continued to circulate, although Kiehna was always adamant that the earrings were two separate pairs.
