Celebrate history and elegance with the Amor et Virtute Necklace, part of the National Portrait Gallery Jewellery Collection. Inspired by a historic portrait of Sir Walter Ralegh, this timeless piece reflects the values of love and virtue—a motto that defined Ralegh’s life as an explorer, poet, and courtier favoured by Queen Elizabeth I.
Handcrafted in recycled sterling silver, the necklace features a polished disc engraved with “Amor et Virtute”, symbolising the harmony between love and virtue. Whether worn alone as a classic statement or layered with other pieces, this meaningful design serves as a refined token of affection and strength.
Presented in National Portrait Gallery branded packaging, it makes a thoughtful and historically inspired gift for a loved one—or a treasured keepsake for those who appreciate timeless elegance.
