Duchess Catherine in Annoushka pearl earrings
Annoushka Ducas feels "very proud and very honoured" to count Britain's Duchess Catherine as a customer.
The designer's jewellery brand Annoushka is a favourite of the duchess - who was pictured in a pair of the company's 18ct yellow, gold and white pearl drop earrings again last week - and the entrepreneur thinks her famous customer always looks "great" in her pieces.
She said: "[Catherine] looked radiant, elegant and eternally stylish. The pearls are very easy to wear and they look great on her.
"I feel very proud and very honoured to have her as a customer."
As well as the earrings, Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage to Prince William - also owns another pear of pearl earrings and a diamond eternity ring from the brand, and it is believed she bought all three as gifts for herself.
The duchess is a regular visitor to Annoushka's store, but is also sent pieces to try at home before making her purchases.
Annoushka told People magazine: "She pops in unannounced and very quietly looks at what she's after and then goes away again. It's all very low-key.
"She's just so delightful and just very easy to talk to, very easygoing actually."
As well as Catherine, Annoushka - who co-founded Links of London, another jewellery firm the duchess is fond of - counts her mother Carole Middleton and sister Pippa among her customers.
