Tudor Rose Chain Silver

The Tudor rose was one of the most recognisable symbols of late fifteenth and sixteenth century England. It represented the union of the Houses of Lancaster and York after the Wars of the Roses and was widely used in architecture, textiles and ceremonial objects. In jewelry, the rose often appeared as a dominant central element rather than as part of a repeated structure.

This pendant follows that historical logic by presenting the rose as a single, hierarchical motif. Unlike more complex compositions, the reading here is immediate and direct. Without reference to a specific surviving piece, its scale, relief and placement are consistent with heraldic jewelry used in ceremonial contexts and historical reenactment.
