Duchess Sophie’s necklace is available to buy on the high street | Royal | News

If you’ve ever wanted to add a royal-approved piece of jewellery to your collection without blowing your budget, Duchess Sophie’s latest necklace could be the perfect place to start. The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out in Portugal yesterday evening wearing an elegant gold pendant that is surprisingly accessible compared to many of the luxury pieces often seen on members of the Royal Family.

Sophie, 60, wore the Tilly Sveaas T-Bar Necklace while attending a garden party at the residence of the UK Ambassador in Lisbon alongside Prince Edward. Styled with a striking red patterned dress and gold statement earrings, the necklace added a subtle finishing touch to the polished look.

What immediately caught my eye was its simplicity. Rather than opting for a diamond-encrusted pendant or heirloom jewel, Sophie chose a timeless design that feels effortlessly wearable for everyday life.

The necklace features an 18ct gold-plated silver belcher chain, finished with an 18ct gold-plated brass T-bar pendant. The sleek horizontal bar creates a contemporary feel while still retaining the sort of understated elegance that has become synonymous with Sophie’s wardrobe.

It is also incredibly versatile. Whether layered with other delicate chains or worn alone as Sophie chose to do, the necklace works just as well with a crisp white shirt and tailored blazer as it does with dresses and occasionwear.

Tilly Sveaas has built a reputation for creating elevated everyday jewellery, and this design perfectly captures that philosophy. It feels refined and luxurious without being overly formal, making it easy to see why it caught Sophie’s eye.

What I particularly love is that it offers royal style without the intimidating price tag often attached to jewellery worn by senior royals. While many royal-inspired pieces can run into the hundreds or even thousands, this necklace remains a far more accessible way to recreate Sophie’s effortlessly elegant look.
