Katheryn of Berain - Skull & Gem Necklace

Kate and National Museum Wales have collaborated to produce a jewellery collection inspired by the ‘Mother of Wales’, Katheryn of Berain, who was a distant relative of Elizabeth I. Her portrait, on view at National Museum Cardiff, was painted by Adriaen van Cronenbergh (1568).

Brass Skull and Gemstone Necklace – This hand carved, highly detailed skull pendant is made of solid brass and has been polished to show all the fine details of the lace pattern on Katheryn’s dress sleeves.

A faceted Smokey Quartz gemstone in a gold plated setting adds some rich colour.

The extra-long 36” chain is made of black plated and nickel free iron. Please enquire if you’d like a different length.
