There were several reasons for the acorn motif chosen for the coat of arms and consequently the design in the earrings: the 3 acorns in the coat of arms represent the Middleton children, acorns symbolize strength, Englishness and propagation since oaks grow from the scattering of acorns. Oak trees are also common in Berkshire and the town of Bucklebury, where the Middletons live.
How interesting. Thank you for sharing. This explanation makes perfect sense, of course, and explains why acorns were portrayed in Catherine's wedding earrings. Aren't acorns also a part of Catherine's personal coat of arms that she now uses as the Duchess of Cambridge?
