Tudor Elegance: The Timeless Appeal of 16th-Century English Design

The Tudor design period (1485-1603) encompasses a significant era in English history, marked by the reign of the Tudor monarchs: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. This period coincided with the Renaissance, and this influence can be seen in the adoption of classical motifs, the humanist emphasis on art, and the increasing importance of individual portraiture.

Tudor rings were typically made from gold, often set with precious and semi-precious stones like rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. Our rings are reproductions inspired by a painting by Hans Eworth. The artwork of Mary Neville, Lady Dacre, and Gregory Fiennes, 10th Baron Dacre was painted in 1559 and is a double portrait that captures the siblings in a formal and symbolic presentation. This work is rich in detail, with various elements that convey their status, wealth, and familial ties.

Mary Neville is depicted wearing several rings on her fingers, which likely symbolize her wealth, status, and possibly her marriage. The display of multiple rings might also emphasize her prominence and the family's prosperity.
Our reproductions combine high-quality plated metal with semi-precious gemstones to create adjustable rings that are comfortable to wear.
