Step back in time with the Lace Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver, an elegant addition to the National Portrait Gallery’s exclusive jewellery collection. Inspired by the exquisite lace ruff worn by Mary Herbert in her 1590 portrait by Nicholas Hilliard, these earrings celebrate the refined beauty of the Elizabethan era.
Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, was not only a noblewoman but also a renowned writer and patron of the arts, making these earrings a fitting tribute to sophistication, intelligence, and timeless grace. The delicate lacework design, created using a detailed laser etching process, captures the elegance of historical craftsmanship in a contemporary form.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, these dainty yet eye-catching studs are secured with a post-fitting and butterfly clasp for comfortable wear. Whether worn for a wedding, a special occasion, or as an everyday statement, they bring historic charm and classic refinement to any outfit.
