Question:

What are the jewels on the Tudors?

In the series, the "Tudors", what are the jewels that they use in the series. They look genuine, but does the studio make these just for this series? They look like gold and emeralds, but are they?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Indeed, a good deal of research is done for those dramas. Costumers often will go through great lengths to examine what textiles and jewelry have survived to current day as well as closely scrutinize paintings and other documents describing all adornments as well as clothing of the era.

Dramas with some budget will have high quality costume jewelry made, but also there's lighting, photography techniques and production work that enhances all sorts of mundane things in amazing ways.

It's supposed to look real.

Lastly, yes, gold falls into the precious metals category, just as emeralds are jewels.
