The Met Store Earrings*Cypriot Twist Pearl Double-Drop Earrings

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

These stylish cultured freshwater pearl earrings reinterpret an elegant gold bracelet from Cyprus and now in The Met collection. So-called “baroque” pearls are 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 West.

Due to the natural elements in this jewelry, the color of the pearls may vary.
