Tudor necklace Elizabeth, red gemstone, silvered bronze

Product description

Elisabeth I was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, and was the last monarch from the House of Tudor. England thrived under her rule, which was between 1558 and 1603. English culture blossomed as well: this was the time of William Shakespeare, the famous playwright. Elisabeth also defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588. On portraits, she is depicted in expensive clothing, adorned with beautiful jewellery featuring pearls and gems. Such jewels were costly and were worn only by the nobility to display their wealth and power. This Tudor necklace is based upon Elisabeth's jewels.
