Elisabeth of Austria Queen of France Portrait replica necklace

Elisabeth of Austria (5 July 1554 – 22 January 1592) was Queen of France from 1570 to 1574 as the wife of King Charles IX. A member of the House of Habsburg, she was the daughter of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, and Maria of Spain.

This is my portrait replica of the necklace worn in the portrait of Elisabeth of Austria in 1573, by Jooris van der Straaten.

There are multi layered filigrees in gold tone plate decorated with a central black resin crystal. There are crystal ouches and faux pearl hand sewn embellishments with filigree connectors.

This piece comes in my gift box.
