Medallion & Pendant Necklace Collection

(* indicates items that are part of a portrait reproduction collection)

My client, Mr. Irving, England's most-recognized King Henry VIII Impersonator, wearing a museum replica of the original "Anne's Gift" medallion necklace at a "Rolf of Art" event, fall 2005.

"Anne's Gift" Medallion Necklace *
This medallion necklace is my most prided accomplishment yet.
Modeled after a muesum copy of the little-known original piece owned by King Henry VIII that is now part of the private Royal Collection, this weighty piece will be THE ultimate piece de resistance of any period ensemble.
Available in gold-tone only and strung upon dual coated beading wires, your medallion's necklace will be fashioned of 10mm Czech glass druk beads, various sizes of weighty cast metal gold-tone beads, fluted rondelles, and filigree bead caps. The 2.75" 2-ply medallion is adorned with acrylic stones, glass stones (if your color choice is available in glass), and simulated pearl cabochons. Its pendants include of mother of pearl rice beads and freshwater pearls. It is heavier than it looks, and you'll definitely be delighted with the period feel of this amazing piece....it is a literal show-stopper!

"Catherine of Aragon" Medallion Necklace *
A very versatile replication of the necklace Catherine of Aragon wore in 1530, this medallion pendant necklace features a metal casting collage adorned with five 15mm (1/2") domed cabochon stones. All stones are mounted in metal settings. The necklace is shown above with stones that are all the same color, but you may also choose to have your center stone be a different color than those on the perimeter of the piece.
Adding a delicate and regal touch to the piece are three glass-based elongated 15x8mm teardrop pearls.
The medallion dangles gracefully from a soldered link chain, which can be attached at the back of the neck, or you may remove the linking mechanisms and attach the ends at the shoulders of your garments for a more "Ever After" look.
Available in gold-tone or silver-tone.

Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Q" Necklace *
While not exactly a HISTORICAL replication, this futuristic piece could certainly pass as an antiquated design. A copy of the second version of the necklace (I was told that the first version was lost from the "Star Trek: TNG" set's wardrobe closet), this is a must-have piece for any "Q" fan or lover of period-looking pieces with a boldness that simply can't be ingored.
Made from gilt brass and gold-plated components, this necklace will feature your choice of stone color (ruby is shown above).
