Pearl jewellery is trending, thanks to Kate Middleton's recent royal tour in Italy, where she showcased a chic look complemented by an affordable necklace from UK-based brand Monica Vinader. The necklace, featuring a baroque pearl on an 18k gold vermeil chain, is priced under £150, making it one of the more accessible pieces worn by a royal in recent years. Kate's earrings, while designer, also contributed to her elegant appearance. The trend is not limited to the Princess, as searches for pearl jewellery have surged, particularly following Anne Hathaway's appearance in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', which saw a 4,850% increase in interest for her necklace. Major fashion houses like Chanel and Dior have embraced pearls in their Spring/Summer 2026 collections, indicating a broader return to feminine styles. For those inspired by this trend, various pearl jewellery options are available for purchase online.
