Annoushka Ducas proud to be Duchess Catherine’s favourite

OHMYGOSSIP — Annoushka Ducas feels “very proud and very honoured” to count Britain’s Duchess Catherine as a customer and thought she looked great wearing her pearl earrings last week.

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.
