Step into Elizabethan elegance with the Lace Mother of Pearl Necklace in Sterling Silver, a standout piece from the National Portrait Gallery Jewellery Collection. Inspired by the delicate lace ruff worn by Mary Herbert in her 1590 portrait by Nicholas Hilliard, this unique double-disc pendant blends historical artistry with contemporary craftsmanship.
The top sterling silver disc is finely laser-etched with a lace motif, while the lower layer features iridescent mother-of-pearl, designed to move freely beneath, catching the light with every movement. This beautiful shimmer effect evokes the rich texture and layered detail of Elizabethan fashion, offering a graceful nod to the past in a thoroughly modern design.
Handcrafted from recycled sterling silver, this timeless necklace is ideal for both special occasions and everyday wear. Pair it with the matching Lace Earrings for a coordinated, sophisticated look. Presented in National Portrait Gallery branded packaging, it makes a thoughtful gift for history lovers, art enthusiasts, and admirers of fine craftsmanship.
We recommend treating it carefully to ensure you’re the jewellery remains as timeless as the stories it's inspired by. To preserve its beauty and lustre, please avoid direct contact with water and chemical products such as soap, perfume, and abrasive products.
