The Mysterious Disappearance of Anne Boleyn’s B Necklace 📿
For centuries folks have wondered where this iconic piece of jewellery has gone – was it destroyed, lost to time, or did it even ever exist? 💭
🏰 When Anne was executed 486 years ago, Henry the 8th made it his mission to have all images of the former Queen destroyed too. However many subsequent portraits painted in her living memory show her wearing a variety of personalised jewellery which was popular at the time – her B necklace, an AB pendant, and an A pendant
🌬 All pieces seem to vanish – except for one which emerges after her death – her A pendant is shown worn by her only daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth the First, leading the assumption that the rest of her jewels were passed on to her daughter too.
But what of the other jewels? 💎
Well, fast forward to the modern day, and the most important piece of royal adornment – Queen Elizabeth II’s Imperial State Crown – features large rare pearls. The Royal Family’s own records lead them to believe that these pearls were inherited from Queen Elizabeth I herself – could these be the famous pearls once seen around Anne’s own neck? 👑

if you can’t wear a cape in hampton court palace i’m not sure where you can 🌹?
I have always wanted to see this incredible tudor palace for myself and I was so excited to have the chance!
they had live cooking demonstrations inside the original kitchens, and we saw so many amazing tapestries and paintings… incredible day to visit!
the puff headband trend always reminds me of the French Hood so I had to wear this army green one, along with this spectacular velvet and silk cape picked up from @classiccarbootsale in the spring! My dress is vintage from Japan, and my bag is @aspinaloflondon. The shoes are @empressaustralia 🔍
Not forgetting my B necklace as an homage to Anne 🅱️❤️ Hampton Court Palace

feeling serene in baby green!!!!
this is one of my oldest and most favourite vintage finds… the dress is most likely 80s and has a really sweet woven fabric! paired with a classic bag it is comfortable and elegant for many occasions 🥰

what I wore to the classic car boot 🏎️✌️
I had been desperate to wear this incredible Gunne Sax pink dress acquired from @olive_and_quince_vintage (who I met this day also!!)
Decided to accent with black so sported my SPPO hat I picked up in Japan in the summer and some bow socks of the same
Finally these @empressaustralia shoes, classic square toe Mary Janes which are so incredibly comfortable 🎀 London, United Kingdom
