If the emerald suite worn by the Duchess of Cambridge was a gift to Princess Diana at the time of her marriage or just after, why would the palace officials not have stated that? But it is possible that not all the wedding gifts to Princess Diana were publicised -- for example there was no mention at the time, or after, of what the Sultan of Brunei, King of Thailand etc may have given her -- so it is possible that she was given the emerald suite. It is equally possible that the suite was a gift to the Duchess of Cambridge. No information was released about gifts to the Cambridges.
I wish there were higher definition photos of Princess Diana wearing the earrings so that we could be sure they were part of the suite worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. Even though the photos are not so clear, it certainly looks possible. Below is a comparison which may help. The insert is of the earrings worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.
