Agincourt's first collection of designer handcrafted jewelry -- the 1470 Premiere line -- is inspired by the collar necklaces featured in works of the great masters of portraiture of 15th century northern Europe.

Each piece in the limited-edition collection is handcrafted from sterling silver wire, imported glass and semi-precious stones. Even the findings and headpins are hand fashioned, making each piece truly distinctive. For women who want a unique original, designer Liz Georges works with clients to custom design a piece to meet their individual preferences.

From the lyrical balance of forms found in the earrings to the complex architecture of the collars, the 1470 Premiere collection celebrates a time when a women's jewels made a statement, and the world was waking to the possibilities of expression and exploration.
