Now you can own Kate Middleton-designed jewelry

 She may soon be decked out in glittering bling, but just a few years ago, Kate Middleton was designing it. 

In 2007, the soon-to-be princess collaborated with British designer Claudia Bradby on a stylish pendant necklace, which Bradby is now re-releasing to honor Kate’s upcoming nuptials. The 14-inch sterling silver snake chain features a silver bean with rose quartz and pink pearl charm.

“I thought it would be a good idea to reissue it to celebrate their engagement," the designer told the London Evening Standard. In case there was any doubt of Kate’s involvement, Bradby added, She was very specific about what she wanted — it was her concept."

Kate harbors a love of fashion, much as her fiance’s mother, Princess Diana, did; in 2006, she was an assistant accessories buyer at women’s wear chain Jigsaw. Her fashionista credentials also include being named to People Magazine's 2010 best-dressed list, Vanity Fair's international best-dressed list, and as one of Richard Blackwell's 10 "Fabulous Fashion Independents" of 2007.

And now a piece of Middleton-designed fashion history can be yours for just $71. It’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to respond to compliments by saying casually: “Oh, this? Kate Middleton designed it for me.”

            You call this design? I am so sorry, but designing jewellery is more than that. Everybody is doing this kind of design(?). Not really designing, but putting things together and that's about it. But if you want to call it design, then that is fine, I guess (at least to your standard).
