The final event of the Cambridges’ tour of India and Bhutan was probably the most highly anticipated of all: their visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra. The grand monument is actually a mausoleum; it was built in 1653 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Kate used her jewelry to make a final nod to the people who have hosted the couple over the past week. She wore the earrings that she purchased during Friday’s hike to Tiger Nest in Bhutan.

Yet another outing on the tour for Kate’s new Accessorize earrings: she wore them on Wednesday to visit the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation at Kaziranga National Park.

Here’s a good look at the inexpensive earrings. Kate’s definitely going for a very specific jewelry strategy on this tour: (relatively) affordable, local, and casual.

Kate wore the same clothes and jewels later in the day to paint an elephant statue sponsored by Elephant Family, the charity started by the late Mark Shand (brother of the Duchess of Cornwall).
