On Monday, William and Kate headed to BAFTA’s historic headquarters at 195 Piccadilly in central London for a launch event for “Shaping Us,” a new charitable campaign from the Royal Foundation’s Centre for Early Childhood spearheaded by the Princess. The press release for the event explains that the campaign “aims to increase public understanding of the crucial importance [of] the first five years of a child’s life” and hopes “to transform the issue from one of scientific interest to one of the most strategically important topics of our time.” The event included the screening of a special short film that highlights the ways that early experiences affect the development of babies and children.

Here’s a closer look at the earrings from Monday’s appearance. The brand is run by architect Malaika Carr, who makes each piece of jewelry by hand. The Florence earrings were inspired by the architecture of London’s Royal Opera House.
