War Of The Roses Collection - White Rose of York necklace

This hand crafted necklace represents the House of York and depicts the York White Rose.

I have encased the image inside a 25 mm glass cabochon in a silver plated setting.

The rivalry between the House of Plantagenet's two cadet branches of York and Lancaster brought about the Wars of the Roses, a decades-long fight for the English succession, culminating in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, when the reign of the Plantagenets and the English Middle Ages both met their end with the death of King Richard III. Henry Tudor (7th) then married Elizabeth of York and the Tudor rose was formed, a combination of the white and red roses.

Choose from an 18, 20 or 24 inch belcher chain.

This necklace comes in an Enchanted Tudopr Rose gift box.

I also make a matching bracelet, earrings, cuff links and tie pin.
