Hi. I don't know if they ever did a reprint, but there is the London
Museum Catalog #2 Cheapside Hoard dated 1928. It doesn't seem to
have anything definitely an earring, though, but has some pendants
which might have been, but who knows? Sorry, Mike T.
There is a brand new, little, book about the Cheapside hoard,
available from the museum shop but that is later than Tudor, and I
would not have thought would be suitable.

HI, Can anyone reccomend a book ,with drawings or photos , of
Tudor and Elizabethan jewelery?
Or even leads to good paintings would help... I 'm trying to
reproduce Elizabethan earrings and I don't know wether they had
pierced ears ,for ladies and gents, at that time period,or wether
piercing was consider "Crude" or lower class?
If it was acceptable, how were pearls or jewels suspended from
the wires? I'm assuming they were wires- not post/studs-, if they
were wires what shape were they?
Any and all info greatly appreciated.
