review of
Pearls: Emblems of Wealth and Status
by Juneaux, Duchess of Netherwaullop
|
I added Renaissance Magazine to my stack... and found... the
article I least expected..." PEARLS: EMBLEMS OF WEALTH AND STATUS", complete with a sidebar :The Vocabulary of Pearls, and
an addendum: How to Properly String a Pearl Necklace!...Written by one Juneaux, Duchess
of Netherwaullop (!) the article is brief but pithy, well-done, and interesting.
...during the Renaissance, pearls, which were in great vogue for adorning embroideries on clothing
(for men and women) " became so expensive that between July 1566 and April 1569 Queen Elizabeth was forced to use 520 fake
pearls, carved from mother of pearl or made from glass, for trimming her partlets and ruff, at the then unheard-of price of
a penny a piece ($4 in today's funds)."
