The Hera White Gold and Diamond Drop Earrings worn by the Princess are a tribute to the Greek Goddess Hera.
Hera is a goddess from ancient Greek mythology and is the patron saint of marriage, women, and family, she is also the protector of women during childbirth. As the Princess was visiting a maternity unit, this was clearly a well-thought-out accessory that has a sweet connection to the purpose of the engagement.

As seen on The Princess of Wales, the Hera Gold and Diamond Earrings are pear-cut drops of polished gold surrounded by the sparkliest of pavé diamonds.
During the visit, Kate Middleton cradled a tiny baby girl in a 'touching' moment. The Princess also opened up about her own birthing experiences with her three children and spoke openly about George, Charlotte, and Louis as babies.
