Add timeless elegance to your collection with the Lace Drop Earrings in 18ct gold vermeil, part of the National Portrait Gallery’s exclusive jewellery line. Handcrafted with an intricate lace design, these earrings are inspired by the delicate patterns seen on the lace ruff worn by Mary Herbert in her 1590 portrait by Nicholas Hilliard. Mary Herbert, a celebrated writer and sister to poet Sir Philip Sidney, embodies the refined artistry and literary spirit of the Elizabethan era.
Created using a precise laser etching process, these exquisite drop earrings offer a sophisticated look, perfect for weddings, special occasions, or elevating your everyday style. Pair them with the matching National Portrait Gallery Lace Necklace for a coordinated, statement-making set. Presented in elegant branded packaging, these earrings make a thoughtful gift for any lover of history and fine jewellery.
