After the Duchess of Cambridge was seen wearing her designs on multiple occasions, business in now booming for jewellery designer Catherine Zoraida.
“It was a massive boost to my new business,” Catherine told Hello! magazine.
“As a young designer it was a dream come true – suddenly Kate was on the front page of newspapers around the world wearing my designs!”
The Duchess has been spotted wearing Catherine’s signature ‘Double Leaf Earrings’, on multiple occasions now.
Duchess Catherine makes first public appearance of 2015 and her maternity dress sells out instantly!
In 2012 she wore them along to accessorise a custom-made Alexander McQueen gown when she visited the King of Malaysia. She also wore them down under when she and Prince William visited Ayers Rock in the Northern territory.
The earrings were then spotted again in the wintery cool weather of British Christmas time as The Duchess, 33, attended church with the Queen and Royal family on Christmas day in Sandringham.
With so many outings of the delicate gold earrings, it’s little wonder that business is booming for Catherine. Retailing at $275 (£140) the earrings are still within the affordable price range for normal women who are just after that something special.
You can even shop them online too by visiting Catherine’s website here.
Catherine described how things first took off: “I had an extremely exciting call from Buckingham Palace requesting some pieces.”
Duchess Catherine’s dress completely sells out for the second time this year!
“I didn’t think anything would come of it and a couple of weeks later, when I’d almost forgotten about the parcel, everything exploded!”
“I realised that something unusual was happening – but it wasn’t until I got home and logged onto my computer that I saw thousands of pictures of the Duchess in my jewellery – it was so exciting!”
“I now sell jewellery worldwide,” she added. “It was hugely positive and gave me the confidence and resources to push forward.”
Catherine Zoraida is not the first jewellery designer to experience ‘The Duchess Catherine effect’ either! After Duchess Kate was seen wearing an affordable $55 pair of earrings by Mirabelle earrings earlier this year, the orders reportedly flooded in so quickly that it was an immediate boon to the small Indonesian village where the earrings are manufactured!
