The Met Store Necklaces*Egyptian Feather Pendant Necklace

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.

Earrings have long been popular adornments in the Near East, but they weren’t widely worn in Egypt until around 1500 B.C. A fabulous Egyptian earring (ca. 1295–1186 B.C.) boasting what was likely intended to represent a feather pattern serves as the inspiration behind this necklace. The pendant reenvisions the inlaid lapis lazuli on the original with transparent hand enameling for a little shimmer.
