Kate Middleton’s unique green amethyst St Patrick’s Day earrings have a powerful meaning

Kate Middleton stepped out today, March 17, to the delight of royal fans, who had been sorely missed in 2024 because of her health issues, to watch the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

It would be difficult to ignore Kate’s svelte, head-to-toe forest green outfit, who has recently chosen to work with a gorgeous custom coat from Alexander McQueen. You’ll find that she wore a special pair of earrings if you take a closer look at her ears. We refer to the piece of jewelry Kate chose because it was much more uncommon than purple amethysts.

However, the stone’s significance lies more in the color of the quartz than in its color. Prasiolite, also known as green amethyst, is thought to represent compassion, abundance, self-reliance, and prosperity. It’s perhaps more pertinent to the Princess of Wales’ current recovery from being in good health, but it also has a connection to growth, health, happiness, and harmony.

You might assume that a special pair of earrings like this would be a heirloom, but you can purchase them from Kiki McDonough, a company that Kate seems to prefer. Although Kate’s exact double drop pair is unavailable online at the moment, you can purchase Kiki’s Classics Green Amethyst Pear Drop Earrings for £695, which is a great value given that many of Kiki’s designs cost more than £2,000.

As Kate perfectly demonstrated, this stunning pair of earrings feature pear-drop green amethyst set in 18ct yellow gold. They definitely add a touch of elegance to any outfit.

Kate also values sentimental value in the color green. Kiki McDonough gave his now-wife a different pair of green amethyst earrings in 2011 that Prince William had presented her with for the Royal Family’s annual Christmas day walk to church that year. We’ve heard that Kate owns about 20 pieces of jewelry from this designer, so we’re curious if William has given her many more pairs of sentimental earrings for special occasions.

Mounir London’s Carved Green Amethyst Earrings for £66 are a very pretty alternative if you can’t afford a pair of Kiki earrings.
