About Pomanders Adorned with Precious Stones

Pomanders, used for holding perfumes, were often highly ornamented with precious stones and jewels and were worn as decorative necklaces.

POMANDERS, for holding perfumes, were often highly enriched with precious stones. They were sometimes made in the form of an orange, and contained ambergris, nutmegs, cloves, etc.

In the "Brooke of Robin Conscience" (about 1600), we find--

"I will have my pomander of most sweet smell,

Also my chains of gold to hange about my necke."
