Copy Princess Kate’s new Cartier earrings with this pair for £1,500 less
The Princess of Wales stepped out at the rugby last week looking as polished as ever, and while her outfit was, of course, spot on, it was her jewellery that really caught our eye. Nestled under her sleek hair were a pair of Cartier’s famous Trinity earrings – a timeless design featuring interlocking hoops of yellow, white and rose gold. They’re both eye-catching and classy…and they’ll set you back £1,630 on Harrods.
However, you don’t need a royal budget to get the look. High street favourite H. Samuel has a pair of hoops that are strikingly similar, and they’ll cost you £169. Made from 9ct gold, the earrings feature the same trio of tones – yellow, white and rose – twisted together in a way that instantly reminds us of Kate’s luxury pair.
Kate’s jewellery picks always cause a stir, and it’s easy to see why. The Cartier Trinity collection is iconic for a reason: it’s sleek, classic and works with absolutely everything. The hoops she chose are the perfect size for everyday wear, adding just enough shine without going OTT.

The H. Samuel version ticks those same boxes. Small enough for daily wear, but with that elegant mix of colours that catches the light beautifully, we’re certain you’ll reach for these earrings for most events. You can dress them up with a blazer for a royal-inspired look or throw them on with a cosy knit and jeans. The mix of three golds also means you don’t need to worry about matching them with the rest of your jewellery– they’ll happily sit alongside silver, gold or rose pieces.
Now, £169 is still considered a spend, but when you think about the £1.6k price tag of Kate’s Cartier hoops, it suddenly feels like a bit of a steal. Plus, the 9ct gold plating means you don’t have to worry about the pair rusting or making your ears sore. However, if the price is still a little steep, Melissa Odabash’s Tri-Colour Hoop Earrings are £60 on John Lewis and also feature the three different metals entwining into one hoop design.
So if you were swooning over the Princess of Wales’ rugby day look but can’t quite justify Cartier, the H. Samuel pair might be the answer. Same timeless design, same elegant feel – just a fraction of the price.
