Bring history and romance to your style with the Amor et Virtute Drop Earrings. Inspired by a portrait from the National Portrait Gallery, these gold vermeil drop earrings echo Sir Walter Ralegh’s motto, "Amor et Virtute," meaning "Love and Virtue." Each earring is engraved with part of the motto and sold as an unmatched pair, symbolising the balance of love and virtue Ralegh valued.
A beloved figure of Queen Elizabeth I, Ralegh’s daring explorations and refined taste made him one of the most admired men of his time. These earrings are a tribute to his legacy, featuring an understated elegance perfect for any modern collection. Pair them with the matching National Portrait Gallery pendant for a complete look inspired by the Elizabethan court.
