Step into the timeless charm of Elizabethan elegance with the Lace Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver, part of the National Portrait Gallery’s exclusive jewellery collection. These exquisite earrings are inspired by the intricate lace ruff worn by Mary Herbert in her iconic 1590 portrait by Nicholas Hilliard, blending historical influence with modern craftsmanship.
A celebrated writer and sister to poet Sir Philip Sidney, Mary Herbert’s legacy of literary and artistic refinement is beautifully echoed in this design. Each earring features a delicate laser-etched lace motif, capturing the fine detail and texture of period fashion in a sophisticated, wearable form.
Handcrafted from sterling silver, these elegant drop earrings are perfect for special occasions, weddings, or for adding a subtle touch of heritage to your everyday style. Pair them with the matching Lace Necklace for a coordinated look that celebrates craftsmanship and culture.
Presented in National Portrait Gallery branded packaging, they make a meaningful gift for lovers of art, history, and fine handmade jewellery.
