Anne Boleyn Charm Bracelet

The "Anne Boleyn charm bracelet"

This bracelet represents Anne Boleyn, her life and pastimes. Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 – 19 May 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII. Henry's marriage to her, and her subsequent execution by beheading, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation.

For this charm bracelet I have chosen charms to represent Anne, her life and her pastimes. Anne enjoyed horse riding, embroidery, dicing and cards and so I have included a horse, dice, a playing card and cotton and thread.There is a tower, a crown, a throne and her initial 'B'. I add red and white coral roses for the Houses of Lancaster and York which joined together to form the Tudor rose. There is a baby feet charm for Elizabeth, a cross and Anne's diary. The falcon is in Anne's crest and I add a glass cabochon charm with her motto "The Most Happy".

The bracelet measures approximately 7.5 cm, although it is fully adjustable as you can clip the lobster clasp to any of the links.

The bracelet comes wrapped in tissue paper and a pretty organza gift bag.
