That is a very nice brooch. Nice of Catherine to wear it on the day of the Pageant as a nod to the Royal Navy.

While they're very pretty, I can't help but wonder how lovely it would look to see her wear some of Diana's dangling pearl earrings.

Duchessmary, I couldn't agree with you more. I figured after a year and especially with this special occasion we would see at least some earrings or something....

Those are lovely drop pearls and the bezel setting for the diamonds is so pretty. In the first closeup, you can see how the pearl picks up the blush color of her outfit.

These earrings are nice - and looks to be NOT costume jewelry, but where are her wedding earings? Will we see them ever again - or only with the tiara she is not wearing since over one year 
If I had a wish....I would ask for that ...

I think this occasion was all about the Queen and the succession. Diana's pearls would have merely been a distraction.
We have seen that when the occasion demands she has fronted with Diana's sapphires to compliment her gorgeous engagement ring but to be honest, I think Catherine really needs to establish her own personal style instead of just becoming a "Diana Jewellery Mannequin".
There is time and there will be occasions when she will (hopefully) surprise us with a new set of earrings, a necklace, a brooch that have nothing to do with anyone else but she and her husband. Surely those will be the moments to treasure, both for her and for us?

I agree great earring. Now if we could just get her to add some pearls around the neckline.

So are these not genuine pearls and diamonds?
ETA: I mean the ones worn to the thanksgiving service, not to the concert. The latter appear costume jewelry to me from what I could see.

No. Sterling silver I believe, not sure on pearl, but for this price pearl should be real.

I was wondering because Sophie Wessex has the same pair... I was thinking maybe the Queen gave them all the same pair or something but them beeing fake does make more sense.

And also Sophie has two other earrings from their shop, and shop confirmed those are one and the same earrings.

Paste - that's what I was thinking from the beginning. They just don't look real and the way the pearl is attached to the rest of the earring gave them away.Why not if they are comfortable to wear ?

Don't think the pearl is real, the price is too cheap.
I forgot to add: the earrings Kate wore for the concert also seem to be from this shop. Here: http://www.heavenlynecklaces.com/ear...z_earrings.jpg

I don't think they are it (from the concert). The earhook doesn't match, and are too small, only 3 cm long.

hmmm, I think you're right. Though they appear to be quite similar looking ...

For me it does not make sense to wear costume jewelry for such an event - when HM took out "grannys chips", even Lady Sarah Chatto had incredible jewelry.....
I am not talking about new earnings, but why not the nice ones from the wedding - a gift from her parents? Slightly disappointing but - each its own.
