The Kate Middleton earring as your wedding jewelry

As I understand it, The Kate Middleton earrings were inpsired by her family crest, which has an acorn in it. Almost every wedding dress designer has a dress inpired by her wedding gown. I thought some would want an earring to match especially since the don't have to be royalty to afford it. These are made of Cubic Zirconia which is accessable to the masses. 
Everyone can afford to look like royalty. This pave' cubic zirconia earring is small enough that is would be acceptable for bridesmaids earrings, and other social occasions such as Christmas parties, charity balls, and military balls. They could be used for pageant and prom jewelry. They could be worn by a wedding attendee as long as no one in the wedding is wearing the dress or earrings. This is made of a zinc/tin alloy so there is no lead and plated in sterling silver. As you can see they are very simular.
This earring is also very light weight. At jim Ball Designs we try to consider that in everything we make-mostly on everything other than pageant jewelry. With pageant jewelry the size is more important that weight. However, I do some of my newer pageant designs where they are large, yet weight is minimized.
