Antique Jewelry: Renaissance Revival

Renaissance Revival Jewelry

The most important piece of Renaissance jewelry was the pendant, which replaced the medieval brooch and was also worn as a necklace. Rings also continued their reign in the fashion world during the Renaissance. They would often feature hidden spaces to hide scented materials in an attempt to cover bad odors from lack of proper hygiene.
