Sophisticated freshwater pearl necklace reinterpreting EllenMaurice's exquisite jewelry in the 1597 portrait of her by the Flemish painter Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger (1561–1635/36), owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (The MET). The Welsh heiress stands confidently wearing a very stunning gown adorned with sparkling pearls – the pearl was known as the 'queen of precious stones' in the Elizabethan era.
Gheeraerts, the pre-eminent Court painter of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods, was highly regarded for the masterful way in which he rendered both sumptuous fabrics and glittering jewellery.
