Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

This delicate necklace reinterprets an elegant gold bracelet from Cyprus in The Met collection.We’ve embellished the original adornment’s characteristic twist motif with a cultured freshwater baroque pearl, named after the word barroco, a Portuguese term for a pearl with an irregular shape. The Museum’s bracelet belongs to the esteemed Cesnola Collection, which comprises Cypriot art and artifacts made between ca. 2500 B.C. and ca. A.D. 300, and serves as the most important and comprehensive assemblage of its kind in the Western world.
