This collection of jewelry and accouterments are made by Douglas and Amy
Strong. The Strongs have been building a personal collection of medieval
antiquities for the past 11 years. They are especially interested in acquiring
"objects of everyday life" of the medieval time period: buttons, buckles,
munitions grade armour, brooches, rings, shoes, clothing, coins. They pride themselves on
the accuracy of the objects that they sell! 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" |
