The path of Elizabeth I is an extraordinary one. During her lifetime she went from being a scorned daughter of Henry the 8th to one of the most outstanding and extraordinary queens of all time, who was honored and looked up to by all. This broach is the most lavish and extravagant of all, also it is the most difficult one in production. The symbolic base of the broach is the ceremonial portrait and fashion which dates back to Elizabeth's reign. Lace and pearls, back then, were considered to most sought after and fashionable elements, and this trend is transported directly onto the jewel itself.
