Silver Pearl Tiara
Captain Sally
Sally Tompkins was the only commissioned female officer in the Confederate Army. She worked tirelessly to help
wounded confederate soldiers, and spent all of her inherited fortune building a hospital in Richmond. In recognition of Tompkins's
service, President Jefferson Davis commissioned her a Captain of Cavalry on September 9, 1861. In four years as head of her hospital,
Tompkins admitted 1,333 patients, losing just 73 of them, a remarkable 94.5 percent survival rate. She not only
saved many lives, but captured the heart of many soldiers, who affectionately called her "Captain Sally."
She died in 1916 and was buried with full military
honors at Kingston Church in Matthews County, the Confederacy's only woman officer.

Southern women know that their altruistic ancestors gave selflessly during the war between the States. Their
common bond is a love of the heritage of the South, and a sense of style and elegance unsurpassed by anyone.
Inspired by an era of aristocratic elegance, our designers have captured the charm and romance of the
southern states. Let your family and guests know that you intend to uphold the old traditions with the
same graceful elegance, the same nod to the old aristocracy, as the great women of bygone generations.
Majestic arches of pearls and genuine Austrian leaded glass crystals frame perfect flowerlets. One inch high,
hand-wired clusters of crystals and flowers grace 9 inches of this 14-inch band--simply stunning and elegant. The accent of natural
freshwater pearls on this piece are an excellcent compliment to off-white and ivory gowns.
Is the old saying true--that every woman should know what Southern women know? We're not telling! The bride
is wearing necklace 444 and earrings 408 and veil V601 which are not included.
