Inspiration
Acquiring charms as travel souvenirs, special mementos, or good luck pieces was as common in the 18th century as it is today. Eighteenth-century charms and pendants came in various sizes. At the time of its completion in 1722, the Governor's Palace was considered the finest such building in British America. It was built to display the colony's wealth, power, and permanence. The Governor's Palace was home to five lieutenant governors, two royal governors, Virginia's first two elected governors, and hundreds of servants and enslaved people.
