With fine metalwork, enamelling and cut jewels, the Darnley Jewel – part of the Royal Collection – and the Fettercairn Jewel – in the collection of National Museums Scotland, are two of the most important Renaissance jewels in Britain, both with a Scottish provenance.
Join Anna Groundwater, Principal Curator, Renaissance and Early Modern History at National Museums Scotland, and Emma Stead, Curator at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, to explore the world of Renaissance Scotland, and the context in which the jewels were made.
