Dating to around the year 1520, during the reign of Henry VIII, the front of the pendant features the famous Tudor rose on the left and a pomegranate on the right, the symbols of Henry and his first wife Katherine of Aragon.

On the ribbon below are the words "TOVS + IORS”, believed by the museum’s Curator of Renaissance Europe, @heartovglass , to be a pun on the French word "toujours", meaning "always". Spelled with a mix of French and English, King believes it was actually meant to read “All Yours”.

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum It’s so beautiful ❤️

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Well, if it couldn't be Andy & Lance, I hope at least Charlie Clarke is a member of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club. Well done!

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Acquired by the BM?

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Very impressive. I wonder how it ended up in a Warwickshire field. Mighty careless to lose something like that. I wonder how much it's worth as I understand the finder is going to use the money to give his young son a good education

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Seriously, how was that level of detail achieved??

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Holy shit!

@HistoryHit @britishmuseum Wow that is awesome, so much history displayed in one necklace. Great find
