Taking the advice of Abigail Adams to her husband, John, in 1776, today we are going to "remember the ladies" in our uses of heraldry in the dressing room.
Last time, we looked at some heraldic jewelry for men; today, we are reminded that women also can adorn themselves with armorial jewelry.
For example, the heraldic brooch:
Or engraved onto a locket which can be worn as a necklace:
A necklace may even be combined with one of the heraldic rings (though designed for a lady's hand) that we looked at last time:
And we should not forget the heraldic bracelet:
Which can even take the form of the popular charm bracelet:
As another touch, you can find (or commission someone to make for you) armorial earrings, either stud ...
... or clip-on:
As a "crowning" touch, if you will pardon the pun, she could look back (very "retro") to the 14th century and wear an armorial hair net:
And finally, to "wrap" it all up (sorry, I just don't seem to be able to keep myself from making puns today), a silk armorial scarf:
What else can you think of that a lady might adorn herself with that is a display of heraldry?
