And she wore them with a bracelet. Some reports have this suite coming as a wedding gift. So one does not know if PW gifted his wife with this suite from his late mother's treasure trove or if it was given by a confidant or friend/ guest of theirs.
If it does come from her late mother in law's jewel collection, it means that PD had an even more glamorous collection than even imagined. When PH married to his new wife Meghan Merkle, she was gifted the exquisite Aquamarine ring so it is possible Kate was gifted a portion of the jewels as well.

Dear all,
I think that I have found the origin of the emerald earrings worn by the Duchess of Cambridge (and thus the demi-set) (or pure speculation of me)
We all know that the Duchess of Cambridge wore a new emerald and diamond demi-parure at the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards ceremony in 2018 .

At time the demi-parure was said to be a private gift (no more information from the palace - not said to be a wedding gift ?.
We also know that Princess Diana wore an unknown pair of emeralds earrings at a gala concert at Brangwyn Hall Swansea in Wales in October 1981.

At that time it was said that she had been given 2 demi-parure from the SA royal family.
I have now the impression that the emeralds in the earrings worn by Princess Diana are square and not round. The diamonds have also the same shape.
Consequently, I have the feeling that the Duchess of Cambridge was wearing the emerald earrings from Princess Diana. (Compare the earrings - we can see the shape of the earrings worn by Princess Diana)
Last but not least I have always been struck by the similarities with the sapphire asprey demi-parure given by the Crown prince of SA.
