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). Spectacularly embroidered rank badges were worn by government officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties; badges with birds indicated a civil official while animals such as the tiger were reserved for military officers, and each creature corresponded to a specific rank. 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.

Just before his departure from the Saint-Rémy asylum in May of 1890, the artist created four radiant spring bouquets, including the exuberant Irises (1890) in the Museum's collection of European paintings. Van Gogh sought to achieve a "harmonious and soft" effect by placing the "violet" flowers against a "pink background," but owing to his use of fugitive red pigments, these colors have since faded.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Spanish Day and Night Magnifier Pendant Necklace and Moon Drop Earrings Set
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 original, now in The Met collection, was printed about 1860-70 by Juan Llorens (Spanish, active ca. 1855-70), an active publisher of broadsides in Barcelona. Broadsides were issued by the thousands and sold on the street or in publishers' shops beginning in 16th-century Europe. These inexpensive sheets of small images, made to entertain the buyer with depictions of current news, children's games, popular tales, and so on, were so well received that certain printing presses made them their specialty. Many early broadsides have been lost due to their ephemeral nature, but numerous others survive in The Met collection. Click

Underneath, the gem is inscribed with the phrase, "According to God's will." The most important ceremony in the inauguration of many Islamic rulers was the investiture with such a sword.

102.95 USD

Because of its affiliation with Herakles, celebrated for his strength and bravery, the knot was considered a protective amulet. It also assumed association with marriage and fertility. The Herakles knot remained a popular ornamental form into Roman times, as exemplified by the Museum's Roman-period bracelet.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Laurelton Hall Mosaic Necklace and Earrings Set
252.95 USD
Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

Tiffany's (American, 1848-1933) home. Laurelton Hall, the sprawling waterfront estate that the Gilded Age visionary designed for himself in Oyster Bay, Long Island, between 1902 and 1905, naturally brimmed with grand architectural elements. Laurelton Hall was the crowning achievement of Louis C. Tiffany's career, though in 1957, it was tragically destroyed by a fire. This loggia, now displayed in The Met's American Wing, was thankfully salvaged from the ruins.

102.95 USD
Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. The serpentine elegance of this artful ring is informed by a Roman-period Egyptian gold bracelet (1st century CE) in the form of a coiled snake. Bracelets with animals, including snakes, appeared in western Asia as far back as the 8th century BCE and spread to Greece (where the snake possessed healing associations, among others) in the 5th century BCE before arriving in Egypt, where examples of serpentine jewelry were crafted throughout the Ptolemaic (332-30 BCE) and Roman (ca. 30 BCE-364 CE) periods.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Peeters Bouquet of Flowers Merino Wool Scarf
96.95 USD
An art scarf makes a unique gift for her. This soft and sumptuous scarf celebrates an ambitious arrangement painted by the remarkable Clara Peeters (Flemish, ca. 1587-after 1636). A Bouquet of Flowers (ca. 1612), housed at The Met, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail-in the way of reflective dewdrops, little insect bites, and drooping petals evocative of transience and decay-and reveals the close connection between botanical illustration and still-life painting, both of which became popular during the Scientific Revolution. Peeters was a founding figure in the history of European still-life painting, an especially attractive genre to women artists who weren't permitted to study nude models.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Nishapur Beaded Necklace
182.95 USD
Unique gifts for her. The Muslim subha, or strand of prayer beads, typically includes 33 or 99 beads for the recitation of the 99 "beautiful names" of God. This necklace pays homage to a group of 9th-12th-century carnelian beads found in the Iranian city of Nishapur, and restrung for exhibition in one of The Met's Islamic Art galleries. The pendant bead on the original, reenvisioned here as a decorative element, would alert the user (who was most likely a man) by touch that his prayer circuit is complete.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Forget-Me-Not Sterling Silver Stud Earrings Set
82.95 USD
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. These two pairs of sterling silver stud earrings evoke an elegant 20th-century locket resembling a half-leather-bound book.

For centuries, global cultures have crafted jewelry with protective charms that wearers believe will enhance their personal power: symbols of religious faith, images of fierce creatures, bells to summon ancient spirits, and beyond.
