Queen Elizabeth portrait replica necklace

Some portraits appear to be found in several forms. One example is of Queen Elizabeth I in 'The Ditchley portrait'.

When researching this portrait I found several images of Elizabeth which seemed similar and of the same jewels but with Elizabeth at different ages.

There is the Ditchley portrait in the National Portrait Gallery, London by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger oil on canvas, circa 1592.

There is also what seems to be a younger version Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Queen of England, anonymous, 1550 - 1599, (rijksmuseum)

and an older version "A genuine and realistic c.1595 portrait of queen Elizabeth I" (Royal Museums Greenwich) - images as shown.

I looked closely at them all before making my replica of this necklace.

I have made this piece with antique golden filigrees, glass crystals and pewter Tudor ouches inset with red and black crystal squares. There are faux glass pearls strung in the Tudor 5 piece style.

The necklace is designed as a choker so I make it to approx 15 inches and add an extension chain so that it can fit closely to your neck. If you feel that you need it made to a smaller size please message me as this is no problem. Each necklace is hand made to order.

Why is the Ditchley Portrait called the Ditchley portrait?

It is named after the courtier Sir Henry Lee who commissioned it and who had estates at Ditchley near Oxford.

The necklace is photographed on a Tudor gown to show you the full effect. The purchase price is for the necklace only. The girdle belt and brooch are available in separate listings.

The necklace will come in my gift box.

*Please note I make Tudor jewellery including the necklace and brooch in these images but I do not make the gowns. For the gown in this photography please see The Tudor Royalty Experience & Tudor Queens Wardrobe.*
