Marginalia Putti Dangles

Featuring imagery from the frontispiece of British Library Royal MS 12 C VIII, a richly illuminated manuscript created for Henry VIII in the early 16th century, these dangles highlight two tender little putti nestled among warm golds and jewel-tone details. Figures like these once lived in the margins of devotional books—tiny flashes of humanity painted with exquisite care. Each round piece is hand-cut, collaged from the original manuscript imagery, and preserved under resin for clarity and longevity. Gold fill earwires and softly luminous moonstone accents bring a gentle light to the design, giving them a serene, effortless elegance. Lightweight and full of story, they carry a little glimmer of Tudor-era charm into the present.
