Embrace timeless elegance and historical symbolism with the Amor et Virtute Necklace in 18ct gold vermeil, part of the National Portrait Gallery Jewellery Collection.

The necklace features a smooth, polished disc engraved with Ralegh’s iconic motto, “Amor et Virtute”, meaning “Love and Virtue”—a perfect balance of affection and strength. This elegant phrase, rooted in Elizabethan values, brings a deeper meaning to your everyday jewellery collection.
Handcrafted with care and finished in warm 18ct gold vermeil, this versatile piece can be worn on its own or layered with other necklaces to create a meaningful and personal look. It also makes a thoughtful and symbolic gift, beautifully presented in National Portrait Gallery branded packaging.

To keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning products.
Store your piece in its box or pouch when not being worn, and gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain its shine.
Gold vermeil and sterling silver are delicate precious metal finishes, so a little extra care will help keep your jewellery beautiful for longer.
Matching pieces to style, layer and gift.
