Description

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.

The regal lion on these sculptural yet notably lightweight earrings comes from an Etruscan ring forged in the early 5th century B.C. and now in The Met's Greek and Roman Art collection. While the original lion was engraved into the gold ring as an intaglio, our design presents the creature as a raised relief. The Museum's ring, from a tomb group supposedly from the ancient town of Vulci, belongs to one of the richest and most impressive sets of Etruscan jewelry ever unearthed.
