This is the stunning Grenville Jewel. Its dazzling exterior is set with diamonds, emeralds, opals, rubies and pearls. The intricate floral design is enamelled gold, which continues onto the rear of the locket. It was made before 1643 in either London or Paris, and it opens up to reveal a miniature portrait of Sir Bevill Grenville, a Royalist general in the English Civil War (1642-1651). He sent this jewel to his wife, Lady Grace Grenville, between 1639-1643 when the political climate kept them apart. The enamelled pansies seen between the jewels are significant as the flowers were associated with loving thoughts at the time.
