Tudor Rose Shield Dangles

Featuring imagery from a richly illuminated manuscript created for Henry VIII’s court, these earrings showcase a pair of vivid Tudor-style crimson roses rising from stylized stems. This type of lush botanical painting appears throughout manuscripts commissioned for the young king—bright, symbolic florals meant to celebrate lineage, unity, and beauty. Each oval shield is made from hand-cut imagery preserved under resin, highlighting the deep berry-red petals and bright green leaves. The gold fill ear wires add warmth and softness, allowing the florals’ vibrant color to shine. Lightweight and expressive, they carry the unmistakable charm of early 16th-century Tudor illumination.
