When Kate Middleton stepped out yesterday in her powder blue Jenny Packham gown, she was shining. And that's mostly because of her expectant mother glow—but she also got a little help in the dazzle department from her jewelry.

The Duchess of Cambridge isn't exactly wanting when it comes to jewelry; she has access to royal jewels with historic significance, but sometimes you just want something modern. So when Kate attended the 2014 Wildlife Photography Awards, she paired her pastel wrap dress with bling by trendy, celeb-adored jewelry brand Monica Vinader.

Kate accessorized with a pair of $1,245 Riva Diamond Cluster Drop Earrings and a $3,340 Riva Diamond Cluster Bib Necklace by Monica Vinader, a brand beloved by famous Brits like Emma Watson, Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse

Expect Monica Vinader to get the Middleton bump very soon and sales to skyrocket. Actually, scratch that—it's already happening. The bib necklace is already sold out online, but as of now, the drop earrings are still available! So if you're looking for the perfect splurge purchase…maybe time for little early holiday shopping?

Yesterday marked the first time that Kate appeared in public since announcing her pregnancy with her second child. And after recovering from a bout of hyperemisis gravidarum, Kate was able to make it to not one, but two events on Tuesday: First she and Prince William welcomed Singapore President Tony Tan Keng Yam at London's Royal Garden Hotel, and then she wowed again at the Natural History Museum in her Jenny Packham gown and Monica Vinader jewels.

Kate Middleton is always championing new, current designers. Of course she still upholds tradition; after all, she is always wearing a piece of history with her blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring. But she still likes to accessorize with her own of-the-moment, trendy jewelry.

Just chalk it up to another one of the zillion reasons to love Kate Middleton!
