How to play Hilary Mantel's Anne Boleyn

Lydia Leonard, who plays Anne Boleyn in the stage adaptation of Hilary Mantel's books Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, wears a necklace given to her by Mantel for every performance. The fake "B" gold-and-pearl necklace, which Leonard describes as "something you get in a toy shop or from The Tower of London gift shop", is an exact replica of Anne Boleyn's famous B necklace, which she wears in many of her portraits.
