10 facts about queen elizabeth 1
Still, there were only two pieces of jewelry that Queen Elizabeth I was reliably said to have never removed: her coronation ring, which she considered her “wedding” ring, and her ruby and pearl locket ring. Shrouded in mystery, this latter ring tells us as much about the queen’s heart as does the former.
The ring is generally called the Chequers ring because its permanent home is now at the British Prime Minister’s country home, Chequers, and under the authority of its trustees.
In 2008, Prime Minister Gordon Brown lent out several pieces of art from Chequers to the museum at country house Compton Verney. Kathleen Soriano, head of exhibitions at Compton Verney, said of the ring, “It’s a very moving piece because it’s so delicate and small and evokes the sense of the story.
It’s a compelling object.”
Just what is that story evoked?
