Kate Middleton's personalised gold necklace just dropped in price and it's making Christmas shopping a lot easier

Kate's personalised gold necklace just dropped in price and it's making Christmas shopping a lot easier.

With so many Black Friday jewellery deals already unveiled, many of us might be considering picking up some pieces for Christmas presents and there’s nothing quite like finding the perfect personalised gift to spark excitement. Even the royals are fans of personalisation with their jewellery and Kate’s engraved necklace from Merci Maman now has a hefty discount. 

The Princess of Wales was spotted wearing The Duchess necklace after Prince George was born when she was known by her Duchess of Cambridge title and the brand named this sentimental piece after her.

Now this necklace is a best-seller and one of the fashion Black Friday deals well worth investing in. Kate’s personalised necklace is fully customisable, with a choice of a boy or girl charm alongside the signature Merci Maman engravable disc and the mini heart charm. These are removable for extra versatility and the necklace is reduced from £139 down to £104.25 with a great saving of £34.75.

This classic piece comes in 18K gold plated, sterling silver and rose gold plated options to suit every taste. Both the front and reverse of the disc can be engraved with the names of your loved ones and you can also add one more charm into the final design of the Duchess necklace for an extra £30 or £60 for two more. Kate's personalised necklace has Prince George's full name - George Alexander Louis - on the disc and 'W' for Prince William on the heart.

For an even more unique look, the necklace can also have a regular chain or a beaded chain for £10 more. The engravings are hand-done at Merci Maman’s Paris workshop, making this truly special and Kate’s decision to wear the Duchess necklace after becoming a mum for the first time shows how close to her heart it is.

Beatrice de Montille, founder of Merci Maman, previously told People that Pippa Middleton was a regular customer and that supposedly asked for the necklace to be passed on to her. She was then delighted when the Princess of Wales was pictured wearing their heartfelt necklace.

“Pippa is one of our customers. She has bought many products from us in the past year,” Beatrice claimed, before adding, “We had no news after the birth. We didn’t know if [Kate] was wearing it or not. Then we came across a blog recently showing a picture of her back in October, shopping in Zara, and she was wearing our necklace!”

If you’ve already made your way through the Reiss Black Friday sale and other fashion-related discounts, you might well be tempted to treat either yourself or a loved one to their own individual version of this classic royal-approved piece. For an even more luxurious take on Kate’s personalised necklace, the 9K fine gold version was created.

This is also reduced for Black Friday, down from £549 to £411.75 with extra charms available to add ranging from £120 to £240, making this another gorgeous and timeless gifting option this festive season.
