The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the BAFTAs at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday evening, and the occasion brought us a second outing for Kate’s modern emerald suite.

Kate wore the diamond and emerald jewels for the first time in December 2014. On that occasion, she wore a long version of the earrings and the coordinating bracelet. (The photo above is from that event, the St. Andrews 600th Anniversary Dinner at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.) You can read our previous post on the jewels here.

Now we know that the suite also includes a necklace, which Kate wore for the first time in public on Sunday.

We also learned that the earrings from the set are convertible. On Sunday, Kate wore the diamond and emerald cluster portion from the long earrings separately as stud earrings.

Kate selected one the prettiest pairs of earrings in her jewelry box, the pear-shaped diamond and tanzanite earrings from Collins and Sons, for the engagement.

When she took off her coat and scarf, she revealed that she’d also worn the matching necklace from the suite. (You can read more about the jewels over here.) She also wore her Cartier watch and her usual trio of rings.
