Kate Middleton receives special tribute for her thoughtful gesture
A renowned jewellery brand has paid tribute to Kate Middleton by launching a new pair of earrings named after the Princess of Wales in recognition of her touching gesture.
Kate's decision to wear the £25.50 "Issy Star" charity earrings on last year's World Mental Health Awareness Day helped the brand raise over £10,000 for the charity, Brave Mind.
The new earrings, named "The Catherine," feature a 14k gold-plated or silver hoop adorned with delicate blush pink glass beads.
Princess Kate, currently recovering after successful abdominal surgery, has also contributed to the business of the company by endorsing the jewels.
The announcement of the earrings by the EarSass X account on Monday garnered immense popularity, selling out in under two hours. Their description reads: "We wanted to honor HRH Princess Catherine with her very own pair of EarSass."
The brand owners expressed gratitude towards the Princess, stating: "We are immensely grateful for how she has assisted us in raising thousands for Brave Mind by wearing our Issy Star earrings, and we will be forever thankful. She is not only the future Queen but also a devoted mother and fashion icon.
"These delicate glass beaded hoops are unique, elegantly beautiful, and timeless - just like the princess. These earrings would be an ideal gift for any devoted mother, wife, sister, best friend, or anyone special in your life."
The earrings were gifted to the royal by Sarah Renton, whose daughter Issy Phipps tragically passed away in 2023. Renton, the Maidenhead Rugby Club coach, met Kate in June 2023 during the royal's visit to the rugby club.
Issy's cousin, Sophie McGown, founded the jewellery brand EarSass in 2020 as a lockdown project, naming all her earring designs after inspirational and influential people in her life.
