A luxury jewelry brand loved by Kate Middleton has launched an advent calendar containing more than £800 worth of jewelry - but for less than half the price. The Princess of Wales has been spotted on several occasions accessorizing with Missoma earrings, with her favorites including these Mini Pyramid Charm Hoop earrings, or the brand's Zenyu Chandelier Hoop earrings, which she wore to the Royal Variety Performance in 2021.
And now, with Christmas approaching, shoppers can glam up just like the royal this festive season, with Missoma's Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024, containing 12 of the brand's most popular items. The advent calendar is available in three different metal finishes, including gold, silver, and 14ct solid gold. And it doesn't necessarily come cheap, ranging in price from £365 for the silver option, to an eye-watering £1,295 for the 14ct solid gold advent calendar.
However, fans of Missoma will likely still see this as a worthwhile bargain, considering the value of the items inside - with the cheapest individual piece of jewellery inside the 14ct gold advent calendar, these Fine Pearl Stud earrings, costing £145 on their own. The biggest saving to be had is on the gold advent calendar option, which will set shoppers back £395 - a saving of 52 per cent on the £827 worth of goodies inside.
Meanwhile, buyers of the silver advent calendar will save just under 50 per cent, getting £722 worth of jewellery for just £365. And the 14ct solid gold calendar comes with a saving of 25 per cent, containing six individual jewellery items worth £1,753 altogether, for just £1,295.
Featuring items from hoop earrings to chain bracelets and pendant necklaces, all three advent calendars come in an embossed jewellery box in an opulent Tiffany blue colour, set across two levels with a large mirror - a design exclusive for this year, reports the Mirror.
The 12 individual gift boxes - or six, in the 14ct gold option - are numbered in gold foil, with illustrations of the design's signature emblem. These jewellery boxes are designed to be used all year round for safely storing your luxury Missoma jewellery.
Meanwhile, the Twisted Chain Choker, worth £65, has garnered a 4.7-star rating out of five stars, with one buyer writing: "Simple and classy, just what I was looking for", while another described the necklace as: "A beautiful, delicate chain that layers elegantly."

Get Your Sparkle On For Christmas
With children back at school and the weather on the turn we are now officially less than 100 days away from Christmas. In recent years, advent calendars have steered away from boring milk chocolate treats, to other surprises that are a little bit more exciting for everyone, whether it's beauty, tech or even beer-focused.
You're saving £174.01 so it's great value for anyone with a lot of wish lists to tick off this year. The silver 24-Day jewellery box is filled with a variety of charms and trinkets, perfect for anyone hoping to add some Christmas designs to their collections.
The calendar contains 24 individually wrapped pieces, offering a wide range of gorgeous charms, from delicate earrings and necklaces to charming bracelets and pendants, each day reveals a new accessory. It’s a wonderful way for customers to build excitement for the holiday season while indulging in a bit of daily luxury.
Not only is this advent calendar a treat for yourself, but it also makes a perfect gift for someone special in the lead-up to Christmas day. Made from metal, 925 sterling silver and brass alloy, each piece is meticulously crafted to bring a touch of luxury to your wrist and neck. The only slight drawback is there are no customer reviews on Wowcher, making it tough to tell how shoppers really found their purchase.
To enhance its beauty and durability, all jewellery is plated with three layers of platinum, ensuring a lustrous finish that lasts the test of time. Looking for alternative advent calendar options? Jo Malone's 2024 Advent calendar goes on sale in a few days and you can currently sign up for email updates to get your hands on the coveted calendar. It will feature 25 luxury surprises from Jo Malone and will be a bit of a splurge buy at £360.
Alternatively, Lush has also revealed its Advent calendar for 2024 which is currently priced at £190. It features 25 vegan products, which include eight of the brand's classic best-sellers and two exclusive gifts.
It might be a little early for some people, but the reality is that the countdown to Christmas is on - we're now less than 100 days from December 25, and it's the perfect time to get a deal on a proper advent calendar. You're shopping early enough that you can get some genuine savings before everyone rushes to catch up.
And if you wanted to choose something a bit more unique than the classic chocolate version, Wowcher has reduced the price of its Jewellery Advent Calendar down to just £19.99 - which comes with an impressive £99 worth of jewellery. Best of all, you get to choose between two lovely designs, one in the shape of a house waiting for Santa, and the other made to look like a Christmas tree.
Whichever you pick, you'll get a lovely 24-day set of surprises, featuring two charm bracelets that you get to add to over the course of December. As well as a wide assortment of themed charms that you can add to these, you'll also get earrings, bracelets, necklaces and more, making for a really generous set. It's the perfect opportunity for those looking to flesh out their jewellery collection without breaking the bank.
Wowcher doesn't tend to collect user reviews, so you can't get a sense of what people have made of the calendar before you buy it, although at just £20 the risk is pretty low. You'll certainly have a more interesting experience opening each window than you would with a traditional calendar, and these tasteful bits of jewellery will last you forever.
Another option is offered up by Say It With, which has a lovely Advent Calendar for £220 (down from £650), and in this case, the box it comes in is so nice that you'll probably want to keep it as part of your jewellery storage. Still, while that might also be a chunky saving, it's really high-budget.
For most people, who just want a nice little surprise each morning without breaking the bank, Wowcher's £19.99 Jewellery Advent Calendar is a great option. It'll brighten up your mornings for 24 days in a row, giving you some new sparkles to try on as you hop between festive pub visits, office Christmas parties and more.
