Elizabeth Crystal Earrings, London Museum, UK

This piece of jewelry is inspired by the original design in the "Cheapside Hoard" collection of the London Museum, England. "Cheapside Hoard" is the greatest collection of Elizabethan and James I jewelry ever discovered. For nearly 300 years, buried treasures have been undisturbed under the busiest streets in London. No one knew of its existence until workers began to demolish a wooden structure in Chepside near St. Paul’s Cathedral in June 1912. On June 18, 1912, workers began to dig the cellar with pickaxes. When they broke the floor, they noticed something gleaming in the soil below. They quickly scraped away the chalk and found that they had hit the remains of an old wooden box. To their delight, a mess of jewels, Gemstone and other valuables rolled out. They discovered the cheap storage room that is now well known and acclaimed as the world's largest collection of Elizabethan and early Stuart jewelry, and it is also one of the most extraordinary and spectacular discoveries ever made from British soil. As a time capsule of contemporary taste and jeweler trade, "Cheapside Hoard" is unparalleled. Not only is it still the most important source for us to understand British Elizabethan and early Stuart jewelry, because jewelry from this era rarely survives. , But also provides unparalleled information about the international Gemstone trade in the age of global conquest and exploration. The treasure was acquired by the Museum of London in 1912 (the museum merged with the Town Hall Museum in 1976 to form the Museum of London). The Victoria and Albert Museum has 5 collections and the British Museum has 25 collections. The Hoard represents the warehouse of a working goldsmith and jeweler. Its presence in Chipside is very important because this street is not only the main artery, ceremonial route and main shopping street of the city, but also the trade of goldsmiths. The Hoard reflects London's role in the international Gemstone and jewellery trade. It contains nearly 500 dazzling jewels and Gemstone from many parts of the world. The number is staggering and spectacular. Material | Gold-plated tin, crystal Size | 2.5 cm Origin | United States "Museum Reproductions, Inc."
