Royal Inspired Jewellery: Wimbledon's Standout Pieces

Wimbledon has always been about more than tennis; it's a moment where British elegance takes centre stage, both on and off the court. This year, it wasn't just the outfits making headlines, but the jewellery worn by two of the most photographed women in the world: Princess Charlotte and Princess Kate. From a sentimental charm bracelet to timeless pearl drop earrings, their Wimbledon style has sparked a renewed appreciation for jewellery that's simple, elegant and made to last, and LILY & ROO pieces have found themselves right at the heart of it.

When Princess Charlotte stepped out at Wimbledon wearing a delicate gold charm bracelet, it quickly became one of the most talked-about accessories of the day. Alongside her elegant summer outfit, the sentimental piece sparked conversations about the return of meaningful jewellery and the elegant appeal of bracelets that tell a story. 

Believed to be inspired by Princess Diana’s iconic charm bracelet, Princess Charlotte’s jewellery choice was a subtle nod to royal tradition. Princess Diana famously wore a gold charm bracelet that she personalised over the years with charms celebrating important milestones, from family to travel and treasured memories. It served as a beautiful reminder that jewellery can be so much more than an accessory - it can hold sentimental value and become part of a family’s story. 

As interest in Princess Charlotte’s bracelet grew, national publications explored jewellery inspired by the look. In its coverage, The Mirror featured LILY & ROO’s  Gold Pearl Drop Bracelet as a timeless option for readers looking to embrace the trend. While Princess Charlotte’s bracelet was decorated with meaningful charms, our design reflects the same sentimental appeal that makes classic jewellery so enduring. 

Princess Kate’s effortlessly elegant Wimbledon style also captured headlines, proving once again why she remains one of the world’s most influential style icons. In its coverage of her polished summer look, the Daily Mail featured LILY & ROO's Diamond Style Pearl Drop Hoop Earrings as part of its jewellery edit inspired by her refined aesthetic. Combining sparkling stones with freshwater pearls, the earrings embody the sophisticated style that continues to define modern royal fashion.

The renewed interest in meaningful jewellery reflects a wider appreciation for pieces that celebrate life’s special moments. Whether gifted to mark a birthday, anniversary, wedding or another milestone, jewellery often becomes treasured not only for its beauty, but for the memories it holds. 

This appreciation for classic design has long been reflected within the Royal Family. From Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana to Princess Kate, classic jewellery has become associated with effortless elegance. Their style proves that the most cherished pieces are often the simplest - designed to be worn, loved and eventually passed on. 

At LILY & ROO, we believe jewellery should celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Every piece is handcrafted in London by our talented all-female team of designers and makers. Whether your piece is Solid Gold, Gold-filled or Sterling Silver, where we can, we use recycled materials for our jewellery, creating elegant designs that are made to be worn, loved and treasured.
