by
Russell Shortt
Princess Mary Stuart was born at Linlithgow Place, Linlithgow, Scotland in December 1542 to King James V of Scotland and his French wife Mary of Guise. The week old Mary became Queen of Scotland when her father died at the age of 30. Things were moving rather swiftly for Mary, when just six months old, the Treaties of Greenwich promised Mary to be married to Edward , son of King Henry VIII in 1552 and for their heirs to inherit the Kingdoms of Scotland and England.

by
Piper Smith
Because she was crowned at 9 months and six days old, and because of her multiple marriages, Mary Queen of Scots had the opportunity to amass a considerable amount of jewelry during her life. She had crown jewels, of course, but also had a personal collection that included many pearls, other precious gems, gold, and silver. Two ruby chains that belonged to her contained two rubies each, two diamonds each, and twenty-four pearls each.

Collecting Antique Lockets
by
Marion Aston
Lockets evolved from ancient amulets and really became popular in the Elizabethan era. Elizabeth I wore a locket ring, containing her own portrait and that of her mother, Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth was in the habit of giving jewel encrusted lockets to the likes of Francis Drake and others of her favourites. Mary Queen of Scots is supposed to have presented her servant with her locket on the eve of her execution - it is known as the Penicuik locket and is now in the Scottish National Museum.
