Arnold Lulls

Arnold Lulls (floruit 1580-1625) was a Flemish goldsmith and jeweller in London.

He was born in Antwerp, and settled in London before 1585, and became a denizen of England in 1618.

Lulls worked as a partner of John Spilman and William Herrick supplying jewels to the royal family. A bill of February 1605 these includes, a rope of oriental pearls and a large round pearl for Anne of Denmark, a chain and St George for Prince Henry, a jewel for Prince Charles, two gold lockets with portraits given by Anne of Denmark to the French ambassador Christophe de Harlay, comte de Beaumont and his wife Anne Rabot.[1]

He was fined in 1619 for exporting gold and silver and his fine was given to Sir James Erskine.

A daughter Susannah married John Newdigate. His son, also Arnold Lulls left a legacy of £10 to his cousin, Jane van Lore, daughter of Peter van Lore.
