Art jewelry inspired by a Met treasure. A celebration of whimsy and artistry, this handcrafted magnifier pendant nods to the exquisite foliate detailing on an imaginative Bohemian ewer (a vase-shaped pitcher) (ca. 1680) in The Met collection. A tangle of fantastical tails and scales supports a smoky rock-crystal basin fiercely protected by a dragon, whose serpentine form creates a handle. The Museum's remarkable Renaissance-style vessel is attributed to the workshop of the 17th-century artisan Ferdinand Eusebio Miseroni (Italian, active Prague, working 1656-84); however, certain elements indicate that it was reworked in the early 19th century.

167.95 USD
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. These celestial motifs celebrate a type of print called a broadside depicting 48 allegorical figures pertaining to the sun and the moon.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Philippine Pearl Magnifier Pendant Necklace
132.95 USD
Unique gifts for her. This luminous necklace with a removable magnifier pendant evokes a gold-and-pearl rosary made in the 17th-19th-century Philippines and now in The Met collection.Between the 16th and 19th centuries, Spanish missionaries traveled to the Philippines and brought with them, among many other Western traditions, the Catholic rosary: a string of beads used to count repetitions of prayers. These devotional beads assumed various sizes and forms, and continued to evolve until a basic design and sequence of prayers were standardized in the 15th century. In the Philippines, which notably boasts the second largest gold reserves in the world, many rosaries and tamborins-a type of Philippine necklace that combined the European rosary with pre-Hispanic and Asian visual concepts-were made of gold and embellished with beads of coral or pearl. Due to the natural elements in this jewelry, the color of the pearls may vary. Read about the Museum treasure behind this jewelry and shop other art-inspired designs in our blog post

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Chinese Dragon Rank Badge Apron and Tea Towel Set
61.95 USD
Art-inspired gifts for the home. The motif featured on our apron and tea towel nods to a Chinese rank badge made in the 18th-19th century during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

In this example, a ferocious dragon with deer hooves hovers amid swirling clouds over a raging sea. Typically, the dragon was associated with the imperial family, with specific features such as the number of claws indicating the status of the wearer.

31.9 USD
Send season's greetings with art holiday cards from The Met. The spectacular image on these artful holiday cards comes from a private devotional book at The Met Cloisters. The Belles Heures, or Beautiful Hours, of Jean de France, duc de Berry, was probably made in Paris between 1405 and 1408 or 1409. Commissioned by Jean de France, duc de Berry, from the illustrious Limbourg brothers (Franco-Netherlandish, active France, by 1399-1416), it's the only manuscript the brothers completed in its entirety, and it's regarded among the most marvelous extant illuminations of its kind. Using a luminous palette, the artists united Italianate details with an intimate Northern vision of nature. Their keen interest in the natural world foreshadowed the work of Jan van Eyck (Netherlandish, ca. 1390-1441) and the subsequent generations of 15th-century regional painters.
