The Rose of Two Houses

For decades, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York stood for rival royal families. Their struggle is known as the Wars of the Roses. Henry VII won the throne at Bosworth Field in 1485. He married Elizabeth of York in 1486. The two roses then joined as the Tudor rose, with red petals around a white center.

A Court Emblem

The Tudor rose marked the royal house for 118 years, from 1485 to 1603. It appeared on coins, palace walls, and royal badges. Tudor necklace and earrings like these echo that heraldry.

Wearing the Rose as the Tudors Did

At the Tudor court, a badge was a public statement. Courtiers wore the royal rose to show loyalty to the crown. Portraits of the period show jewels at the neck, ears, and sleeves. This Tudor rose jewelry set brings that custom to a modern wardrobe. The Tudor necklace and earrings carry one emblem in one gold finish, so they read as a matched pair. That was the Tudor ideal, a unified look from head to hem. Renaissance costume jewelry like this sits well with velvet, brocade, or a plain linen gown.

Styling and Wearing the Tudor Rose Set

Wear the necklace and earrings together for stage plays, faires, and Tudor-themed gatherings. They also work beside modern clothing. The rose is a small emblem with a long history. The earrings have hypoallergenic wires for comfortable wear. Browse related pieces in our English and British History collection.

Care Notes

Wipe the gold plate with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it dry and away from perfume and harsh chemicals. Store it flat in a pouch.

The Tudor Dynasty

The Tudors were Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. The dynasty ended in 1603 with the death of Elizabeth I. Its rose remains a lasting symbol of England.
