Uncommon Tudor Pendant Uncovered in England by Individual Employing Metal Detector

In 2019, café owner and amateur metal detectorist Charlie Clarke unearthed an extraordinary historical item in a field in Warwickshire. Dubbed the “Tudor Heart,” this 24-carat gold pendant commemorates the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. Seven years afterward, the British Museum managed to gather £3.5 million to obtain this exceptional artifact, guaranteeing its exhibition to the public. The pendant is distinguished not just by its artistry but also as the sole existing jewelry associated with Henry VIII and Catherine’s almost 24-year relationship, symbolizing a significant period in English history.
