As for the earrings, which Princess Kate also wore to a banquet during July's French state visit , Rakholia says they are "composed of 16 diamonds across multiple cuts—including baguette, baton, emerald, pear, half-moon and square—which is why they are often described as a 'lexicon of modern diamond cutting.'"
Rakholia says that a "comparable bespoke pair today" could "exceed £1 million, particularly if assessed for auction rather than insurance." However, the jewelry expert notes that due to the earrings' history, "their true value may be considered beyond pricing."
Stone agreed with the million-plus evaluation, noting, "our experts estimate the sparkling earrings to be worth £1.6 million," or roughly $2 million USD.
