| I'm betting on pearls; not sure if a series of high done gray cabs would have been likely, and then, dark pearls should have been all the rage consistent with the Pearl Island source. Besides, Peregrina is reported as 'gray' here and there... wonder what source could that bit of description be from.
If this was Victorian or Arts & Crafts jewelry, a row of gray moonstone cabs wouldn't have been a surprise. As is... not s sure.
I don't know any good reference for 1550s British jewelry online. Do you? |
