American Mackay Drop Earrings
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.
These dazzling drop earrings nod to a pair of 19th-century cups and saucers epitomizing Gilded Age splendor. The Museum's gilded silver and enamel treasures belong to one of the nation's most lavish dinner services, consisting of over 1,250 pieces. They were designed by Edward C. Moore (American, 1827–1891), the visionary leader of the silver division at Tiffany & Co. (American, 1837–present), for John W. and Marie Louise Hungerford Mackay, who became one of the wealthiest couples in America upon the discovery of a significant silver deposit in Nevada. The stylized flora characterizing our contemporary collection are plucked from the colorful detailing on the original, which was described in Tiffany & Co. records as "Indian" in style.
