To honor and flatter Their Royal Majesties in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Elizabethan and Jacobean courtiers adorned themselves with spectacular jewelry.  Diamonds, sapphires and gold gleamed in the candlelight, and pearls were called “Queen of Gems.”  Inspired by a 16th-century English painting, this exquisite brooch adds a touch of majesty to your life and makes special occasions even more memorable.  Three lustrous, cultured freshwater pearls dangle from six sparkling Swarovski® crystals and six faceted, hand-cut glass beads, set in 14k-gold plate.  Bar-pin back with safety catch.  3"h x 1½"w.
