Discover timeless sophistication with the Solid Lace Necklace in Sterling Silver, part of the exclusive National Portrait Gallery Jewellery Collection. This standout piece celebrates the refined fashion of the Tudor court, inspired by the intricate lace ruff worn by Mary Herbert in her 1590 portrait. As the sister of the esteemed poet Sir Philip Sidney, Mary Herbert embodied the grace and style of Elizabethan nobility.
Crafted from solid sterling silver, this striking pendant features a finely detailed lace motif, created using a precise laser etching technique that mirrors the delicate craftsmanship of Tudor lacework. A bold yet elegant design, this necklace makes a meaningful statement—perfect for special occasions or to add a touch of historical charm to your everyday look.
Pair it with the matching Lace Earrings from the same collection for a coordinated ensemble steeped in heritage. Presented in National Portrait Gallery branded packaging, it also makes a memorable gift for history lovers, art admirers, or anyone who appreciates artisan jewellery with a story to tell.
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.
