And where on earth would one find the jewellery?
There is a company in England that makes pewter replicas of Tudor jewelry
(and other jewelry things, spoons, collars, etc.), and he notes that he
makes custom pieces as well.

All I can find is 'Little India' in Islin, NJ. And most of those stores sell
