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

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.

Gifts for art lovers inspired by The Met collection. Even among the rare medieval treasures at The Met Cloisters, The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (1495-1505) stands out as an exceptional highlight of the Museum's collection. This iconic French and South Netherlandish tapestry may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series; namely the Unicorn Tapestries, which are among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive. This masterwork depicts a unicorn resting in a garden enclosure beneath a pomegranate tree, enveloped by a millefleurs backdrop of richly symbolic plants. Our bookmark features a detail from this whimsical feat of craftsmanship and botanical accuracy.

A splendid manuscript (1524-25) from a Khamsa(quintet) by the Persian poet Nizami (present-day Azerbaijan, 1141-1209), now in the Museum's Islamic art collection, informs the magnificent details on this pen.
