Kate’s By Pariah hoop earrings are a part of a powerful assortment
The Princess of Wales is celebrated for her immaculate fashion choices, with particular attention given to the finer details.
During her second public appearance of the year, at the Wimbledon men’s singles final, Kate’s choice of earrings immediately caught the eye of keen observers.
The ‘Sabine’ design from British brand By Pariah showcases an architectural twist on the classic hoop style, meticulously crafted from 14-carat gold vermeil and recycled sterling silver.
These earrings hold a sentimental significance as well, since they are named after the mother of By Pariah’s founder, Sophie Howard.
Naturally, Kate’s highly-anticipated appearance led to these earrings swiftly selling out and they are now only available for pre-order online.
The Princess’s choice of accessory underscores her commitment to supporting sustainable brands, a trend she has embraced since becoming a member of the Royal Family.
Below, we delve into Kate’s impressive selection of hoop earrings, ranging from a £5 Accessorize design to extravagant Cartier earrings estimated to be worth £30,000.

‘Sustainability is woven into every aspect of the brand, ensuring each piece not only embodies luxury but also reflects conscientious craftsmanship.’
