The first of my top 10 series :)


10: Anne Boleyn's 'B' necklace

I absolutely adore this necklace, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that it is her trademark and it is so well known. I'd love to have one - even though I don't have a 'B' anywhere in my name xD

9: Anne of Cleve's Gold and Pearl Necklace

When Anne first came to court, she really didn't dress in the English fashion, but I truly began to love her dresses and jewelry once she started to catch onto the fashion in England. This is by far my favorite piece of hers.

8: Anne's Cross and Beads

It's so terribly simple, but it worked for the scenes it was in. I have something similar to it, but it's all silver. I want the one she wore! If I had that, I might actually go to church xD

7: Anne's Volta Dance Necklace
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/Rc2BxpF4W94oTws-pSsKUw56043/GW150H239

A rather large and shiny piece of jewelry. However, it went very well with the dress and the scene. Not my favorite piece, but certainly not bad :)

6: Anne's Execution Necklace

A very modest but classy piece. The perfect way to show that she would remain a queen up until the very end, and definitely the perfect necklace for her to wear during her last few minutes on screen.

5: Anne's Topaz (?) Cross

I love how this piece of jewelry looks great worn on a long chain or a short chain. The stones are beautiful and I feel that the color works very well with Anne's complexion.

4: Katherine of Aragon's Gold, Pearl and Ruby Necklace
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/164K7M4qbwDsrNxF4IU8ug20117/GW195H195

Very similar to some other pieces you see on the show, but different enough to suit Katherine and her tastes. The perfect statement for the queen :)

3: Anne's Royally Purple Necklace
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/5rxhIiEIZb4Ww7sslLABoQ315028/GW239H312

Purple is the color of royalty, which is the exact statement Anne is trying to make in this scene. She is completely covered in the color, and the necklace really tops it off. A gorgeous piece that leaves me feeling like I just saw a queen.

2: Kitty and Cate's Blue Stoned Necklace
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/3/JoUnb_yuN1bCBZfnPhUwvQ191661/GW258H300

It's the same necklace, if I'm not mistaken, and it's my favorite out of both queen's collections. It's absolutely stunning and works well on both of them. It's a very versatile piece. It shows the innocence of Katherine Howard (as they obviously tried to do with all the blues and pinks and whites) but it is also able to show maturity and elegance when worn on Catherine Parr.

1: Jane Seymour's Wedding Necklace
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/HA845cuyltxWtVjDm30giA18607/GW201H230

So virginal and so Jane. Perfect for her wedding to Henry. I love it so much that I want this piece for my own wedding. Absolutely gorgeous!!
