Links of London Hope Earrings White Topaz
Two of the most recognisable Links of London designs associated with Kate Middleton are the Hope Earrings with White Topaz, which she wore in her official engagement photoshoot, and the Effervescence Bubble Stiletto Earrings, which she debuted at the prestigious ARK Gala in June 2011.
Both of these stunning pieces exemplify the elegance and quality of Links of London, making them highly sought-after by vintage jewellery collectors today.
Kate Middleton’s Hope Earrings: The Engagement Favourite
One of the most significant moments in the brand’s history occurred when Kate Middleton wore the Links of London Hope Earrings with White Topaz for her engagement photoshoot with Prince William.
These exquisite earrings, featuring delicate oval drops set with white topaz, perfectly complemented her timeless aesthetic. Originally sold under the Links of London product code 5040.0857, these earrings symbolised optimism and new beginnings—making them an especially fitting choice for such a historic occasion.
Although no longer in production, these vintage Links of London earrings remain one of the most coveted designs, reinforcing the brand’s lasting legacy.
The Effortless Glamour of the Effervescence Bubble Stiletto Earrings
In June 2011, Kate Middleton attended the ARK Gala in a dazzling Jenny Packham gown, accessorised with the Links of London Effervescence Bubble Stiletto Earrings.
These earrings, crafted from sterling silver, feature clusters of delicate bubbles accented with lavender iolite stones, designed to mimic the iridescence of bubbles. The Effervescence Collection was inspired by joyful celebrations, and this piece in particular became a signature of Kate’s early royal wardrobe.
