You can always rely on the Princess of Wales to deliver in the style department, and her latest look worn to a recent engagement in Leeds has us topping up our current jewellery wish list. 

Kate stepped out on Tuesday for a special visit to a textile mill, AW Hainsworth, which was formerly owned by her paternal ancestors. 

The stylish royal opted for wool, championing verdant forest green. Her elegant trouser suit by Burberry felt polished and suitably autumnal now that September is drawing to a close. She matched her blazer and relaxed-fit trousers to block heel suede pumps, Emmy London's 'Josie' design. 

But oozing 'Quiet Luxury', the pièce de resistance was her chunky gold chain necklace by New York-based jewellery label Laura Lombardi.

According to royal fashion fans, the 41-year-old wore the brand's 'Portrait' necklace, a gold-plated T-bar chain.

 In a yellow-gold hue, the piece is certainly more contemporary than some of the dazzling Royal Family heirlooms we've seen Kate wear at state balls and other engagements.

 But the flattering shade and minimalist round and oval link design enabled a sense of timelessness, and the princess' chunky chain felt super useful for everyday outfit elevation.

Another vote for warm-toned metals came in the form of the mother-of-three's earring choice. She styled her luxe-looking necklace alongside Shyla London's 'The Rosalia' hoop earrings, studded with radiant freshwater pearls.
