Keriane S. on What Kate Wore facebook page suggested a similar pair from John Lewis: http://www.johnlewis.com/96049/Product.aspx
It is very likely that this is where the Duchess bought hers as she is known to shop at John Lewis. This is merely a speculation and not fact.

ART DECO SILVER PASTE EARRINGS
Nov. 10, 2011 Dinner for the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/qRkVxs4BUVn/Duke+Duchess+Cambridge+Attend+Dinner+National/0MpOk9QrEru/Kate+Middleton
Posted Nov. 11, 2011: Credit goes to What Kate Wore blog. One of their readers shared a link that had a similar pair of earrings to Catherine's. After doing some comparisons, it looks like they are the SAME earrings. The Art Deco Silver Paste earrings was part on an Estate Jewelry Trunk Show at Mertier last December 3-4, 2010 in San Francisco. You can read and see pictures of the earrings on Mertier's blog: http://metiersf.blogspot.com/2010/12/estate-jewelry-trunk-show-preview.html
Posted Nov. 12, 2011: From Beaut Jewellery:
1. Did Beaut Jewellery/Jenny Packham copy the design of the earrings sold in San Francisco Dec. 2010?
2. Were the SF earrings sold off as made in 1930 when in fact it was new?
3. Is there an outside jewelry manufacturer who sold to the San Francisco boutique and is now selling through Beaut Jewellery exclusive to Jenny Packham in 2011? Obviously, it can't be exclusive to Jenny Packham in 2010 since the earrings were available for sale in San Francisco.
Posted Dec. 19, 2011: These earrings are now available for sale at Beaut Jewellery. The earrings are called Eva.

DIAMOND PENDANT EARRINGS
This is composed of a bezel-set diamond at the top supporting three flexible fringes. The fringes are made up of round and baguette diamonds. The central fringe ends with a pear-shaped diamond. The two outer fringes are anchored to a diamond crescent that surrounds the central fringe. The crescent has three dangles attached to it which consists of a baguette diamond ending with a bezel-set round diamond.
During the arrivals for the 'BAFTA Brits to Watch' event, a television announcer said these were loaned from QEII. No confirmation has been given regarding these earrings. When Kate wore the Diamond Maple Leaf Brooch during Canada Day, July 1, an official announcement was given by Clarence House and by the Official British Royals facebook page. For these earrings, no announcements have been made.

ROUND TURQUOISE DANGLE EARRINGS
From the way the earrings reflect the light below, the material may be enamel instead of an actual turquoise gemstone.

DIAMOND CLUSTER DROP EARRINGS
Although the top part looks like her white topaz and diamond earrings from Kiki McDonough, they are different. The diamonds surrounding the central stone are larger than the white topaz ones. The top cluster and bottom cluster are the identical to one another. Both clusters are separated by three baguette diamonds going east - west.

SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND DANGLE EARRINGS
First seen at the church service for Prince Philip's 90th birthday. The Duchess wears a cluster of sapphire surrounded with diamonds. This cluster dangles from a single diamond. I can make out 9 diamonds surrounding the oval sapphire.
My speculation is this could be the bottom part of Diana's earrings below but re-set for Catherine. The bottom oval sapphire is surrounded by 9 diamonds and dangles from a single diamond. In Catherine's pair above, you can see that there are extra prongs around the sapphire to match the prongs on her engagement ring. The one on Diana's only has four visible prongs.

DIAMOND WEDDING EARRINGS
From the official royal wedding site:
The Bride’s earrings, by Robinson Pelham, are diamond-set stylised oak leaves with a pear shaped diamond set drop and a pavé set diamond acorn suspended in the centre. Inspiration for the design comes from the Middleton family's new coat of arms, which includes acorns and oak leaves. The earrings were made to echo the tiara. The earrings were a personal gift to the Bride from her parents for her Wedding Day.
