Queen Camilla debuted the earrings on October 27, 2021, when she\u00a0attended the “Shameless! Festival”.<\/p>\n
This was a collaboration between Women of the World (WOW) and Birkbeck\u00e2s SHaME project at Wellcome Collection.<\/p>\n
In her remarks, the Queen delivered a candid dialogue on sexual violence against women and the critical need for society to shift its perspective.<\/p>\n
Camilla chose a long black dress and matching black boots for the occasion. Her attire was understated, which let her gold earrings stand out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Camilla’s earrings had never been seen previously by the public and were partially concealed beneath her blonde hair.<\/p>\n
They appeared to be in the form of fish and were made of gold. Jewellery professionals provided Express.co.uk with their expert assessments of the earrings.<\/p>\n
Experts from the UK\u2019s leading pawnbroker, H&T, said: \u201cIn the case of these earrings, they seem to be of hammered gold, stylised fish design, somewhat in the style of the jeweller Lalaounis.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing of just gold and not gem set would suggest they are for daywear. Large drop style earrings are the absolute height of fashion so they are bang on trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
H&T\u00a0also estimated the value of the earrings, saying: \u201cIf these earrings are by a designer such as Lalaounis and are made of 18-carat gold, we would expect them to retail around \u00a315,000 to \u00a320,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greek goldsmith and jeweller Ilias Lalaounis started a jewellery company in the middle of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
Jewellery professionals have previously referred to Lalaouins’ gold necklaces, bracelets, and earrings as works of art.<\/p>\n
Queen Camilla has worn these earrings on several other occasions, including in 2022 to announce the winner of the Platinum Jubilee Pudding competition with Dame Mary Berry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
