Talbot's Fine Accessories Medieval Jewelry  and Accessories Page

This collection of jewelry and accouterments are made by Dr. Douglas Strong. He has been building a personal collection of medieval antiquities for over 30 years. He is especially interested in acquiring "objects of everyday life" of the medieval time period: buttons, buckles, munitions grade armour, brooches, rings, shoes, clothing, coins. He prides himself on the accuracy of the objects that he sells! Much of our jewelry is made using casting and etching techniques described in detail in Vannoccio Biriguccio's 1540 book Pirotecnia. The Replica Collection While every piece we make is intended to follow the highest standards of authenticity, all of the items offered in the Replica Collection are made in molds taken from original antiquities. This is as close to perfect as you can get! Each piece has every detail that the original had (including any flaws.) They are lovingly cast in bronze, brass, silver or pewter, whichever would be most appropriate for the piece. Each piece is guaranteed to be taken from an authentic original, most of which come from our private collection. Each item is the replica collection bears a the notation "Replica Collection"
