The Metropolitan Museum of Art Spanish Baldric Lapis Braided Necklace and Elongated Drop Earrings Set

This rich blue jewelry is inspired by a spectacular Spanish baldric (first half 17th century), a type of crossbody belt or chain often worn to support a sword.

An enameled example very much like the one displayed in The Met's Vélez Blanco Patio, dedicated to the decorative arts of Spain between 1450 and 1700, is worn diagonally across the chest in an early 17th-century portrait of a young man.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Crescent Moon Drop Earrings

Our celestial drop earrings interpret a stained-glass roundel (1390) with sun and moon motifs at The Met Cloisters.

Having withstood attacks by the Mongols in the 13th century followed by the Turks in the 17th century, the castle never returned to its medieval splendor; with the exception of a surviving panel in Vienna, the windows housed at The Cloisters are all that remain of the structure's magnificent glasswork.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Philippine Pearl Linear Drop Earrings
92.95 USD
Unique gifts for her. These luminous earrings reinterpret 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 Venus Pearl Drop Earrings
82.95 USD
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. In his acclaimed Venus in Front of a Mirror, painted about 1614-15, Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640) portrays the voluptuous Venus, goddess of love, with her back to the viewer. Her son, the boyish god Amor, holds a mirror that allows the viewer to meet Venus's gaze in reflection. She wears nothing but a bracelet and a pair of pearl earrings-one white, the other (reflected in the mirror) appearing black. Our elegant earrings celebrate the goddess's alluring adornments.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Sargent Madame X Crescent Drop Earrings - Sterling Silver
152.95 USD
Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. The crescent moon headpiece atop Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau's iconic profile informs these showstopping earrings, available in gold vermeil or sterling silver, and embellished with white sapphires. Gautreau, perhaps better known today as "Madame X," was admired in Paris for her artful appearance, and John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925) hoped to enhance his reputation by painting the stylish socialite's portrait in 1883-84. He emphasized his subject's daring fashion sense by showing the right strap of her gown slipping from her shoulder; however, upon the picture's exhibition at the Salon of 1884, it received more ridicule than praise. Sargent repainted the strap and kept the work for over 30 years. When he eventually sold it to The Met, he commented, "I suppose it is the best thing I have done," but asked the Museum to disguise the sitter's name. We're delighted to present this item in celebration of Sargent and Paris. This Met exhibition explores the early career of the American painter John Singer Sargent, from his arrival in Paris in 1874 through the mid-1880s, when his infamous portrait Madame X was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon. Over the course of one extraordinary decade, Sargent achieved recognition by creating boldly ambitious portraits and figure paintings that pushed the boundaries of conventionality. Beyond the portrait studio, he traveled in search of inspiration for his art-finding subjects in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and North Africa. This exhibition gathers Sargent's diverse works from this period to illuminate his path to becoming an artist, which was indelibly shaped by his experiences in the French capital. These visually stunning works provide a compelling view of the Paris art world of the late 19th century. Read our blog post

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Sculpted Bouquet Drop Earrings
82.95 USD
Unique gifts for her. A parian porcelain vase (1830-70) probably made in Bennington, Vermont, serves as the inspiration behind these earrings. Elevated with cultured freshwater pearls, our adornments feature lacquer flowers and a ceramic glaze in reference to the Museum's vessel. Parian porcelain, named in reference to the ancient marble quarry on the Greek island of Parros, has a higher proportion of feldspar (a rock-forming mineral) than conventional porcelain, resulting in what resembles white statuary marble. Stylish and affordable, household ornaments made of parian porcelain became extremely popular in the mid-19th century.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Egyptian Fringe Drop Earrings
95.95 USD
Our tiered drop earrings take their bold design from an ancient Egyptian broad collar in The Met collection. The earrings are crafted in 18K gold plate with carnelian drops and colored glass beads; the ear wires are 18K gold-plated sterling silver. By the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1070 BCE), broad collar necklaces were the most frequently worn pieces of jewelry among the royalty and elite in ancient Egypt. The original broad collar belonged to one of the three foreign wives of Thutmose III; the king's name inscribed on the back indicates it was a gift to his wife. Due to its reflective nature, gold-plated jewelry can appear lighter or darker in varying light conditions.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Lotus Bead Drop Earrings
47.95 USD
The ancient Egyptians loved the color blue, which represented the power of the heavens and water-and you will, too, when you wear these lotus-shaped drop earrings in 18K gold plate with blue beads. Our pretty pair is based on a detail on a faience ram with a lotus-shaped manger in The Met collection. This charming ram was made in the 2nd century during the period of Roman rule in Egypt. The faience composition may allude to Harpokrates, who was an immensely popular god of fecundity and rebirth during the Roman era.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Lotus Blossom Drop Earrings
59.95 USD
Evoke the beauty and mystery of ancient Egypt when you adorn yourself with our unique lotus-shaped earrings in 18K gold plate decorated with an enamel finish in blue, green, and white. They are based on a faience lotus inlay in The Met collection from New Kingdom Egypt, which was made about 1400-1300 BCE. Lotuses grew abundantly along the Nile River. The lotus was an important symbol of rebirth because the blossom opens at sunrise and then closes after sunset; to the ancient Egyptian, the lotus reflected the sun at the dawn of creation.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Chelsea Peacock Pearl Necklace and Drop Earrings Set
252.95 USD
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. Bearing the lush blues, greens, and purples of a peacock feather, the iridescent pearls defining this jewelry nod to a pair of porcelain peacocks (ca. 1755-58) produced at the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory (British, 1745-1784). Avian figurines were made at the factory since its inception, and they accounted for an important category of its early sculptural output. These particular peacocks were made during the factory's so-called Red Anchor period (ca. 1753-58) when the popularity of their birds declined and few new models appeared. In addition to their relative rarity, these peacocks are considerably larger and more technically ambitious than their predecessors. Our luminous designs pay tribute to these whimsical creatures.

The 19th-century valentine that inspired this jewelry bears a bouquet with the endearing message, "Ever yours." Read our blog post
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Karavas Gems Large-Bead Aventurine and Pearl Necklace and Drop Earrings Set
247.95 USD
Unique, art-inspired gifts for her. Our elegant jewelry celebrates a timeless 6th-7th-century necklace found at Karavas, Cyprus, which once belonged to the Byzantine empire. In 330 CE, Constantine the Great (r. 306-337)-the first Christian ruler of the Roman empire-transferred the imperial capital from Rome to the eastern city of Byzantion, which he renamed Constantinople ("the city of Constantine") in his own honor. As the inheritors of the Roman empire, the Byzantines carried the torch of tradition and produced a wealth of wearable treasures in precious gold, silver, and gemstones, signaling their unwavering status. The Museum's adornment, with its colorful green-quartz beads, lustrous pearls, and exquisite opus interrasile craftsmanship-a pierced metalwork technique used between the 3rd and 7th centuries-exemplifies the astounding finesse of Byzantine jewelry.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Gilded Age Daffodil Drop Earrings

Unique gifts for her inspired by The Met collection. The radiant blooms defining these earrings are plucked from the "Daffodil" lamp produced by Tiffany Studios (American, 1902-32) around 1904-10. The daffodil appears to have been a popular Tiffany Studios subject over several decades, and archival photographs of the studio show real daffodils arranged on model shades, demonstrating how closely the artisans worked from nature.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Mackintosh Tile Necklace and Drop Earrings Set
232.95 USD
Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. This artful necklace and earrings set pays homage to the geometric tilework on a washstand (1904) by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (British, 1868-1928). Guided by the philosophy that art and architecture are intertwined, Mackintosh envisioned wonderfully original designs derived from the traditional styles of his native Scotland. The washstand, which is exemplary of Mackintosh's creative prowess at the height of his career and is now displayed in The Met's Modern and Contemporary Art collection, was crafted as part of a remodeling project for an 18th-century residence called Hous'hill. Located in a suburb of Glasgow, Hous'hill belonged to the proprietress of several popular tearooms in the city, many of which were furnished with Mackintosh's designs. Read our blog post

Moore (American, 1827-1891), the visionary leader of the silver division at Tiffany & Co. (American, 1837-present), for John W. and Marie Louise Hungerford Mackay, who became one of the wealthiest couples in America upon the discovery of a significant silver deposit in Nevada. The stylized flora characterizing our contemporary collection are plucked from the colorful detailing on the original, which was described in Tiffany & Co. records as "Indian" in style. Click
