The British Museum announced that it has successfully raised £3.5 million ($4.8 million) to acquire the “Tudor Heart” pendant and keep the centuries-old object in the UK!

The museum described the Tudor Heart as “unlike any object in the British Museum collection or elsewhere in the UK.” The 24-carat-gold pendant, which is accompanied by a 75-link gold chain, is currently the only known piece of jewelry to survive from the period of Henry VIII’s reign during his 24-year marriage to his first wife, Katherine of Aragon.
