Ancient Mixed Motifs Glass Triple-Drop Earrings

$95.00 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

These eye-catching triple-drop earrings reinterpret three striking glass pieces in The Met collection: a stripy blue inlay dated to Early Imperial Rome (1st half of 1st century CE) and two Egyptian inlay fragments—one bearing a floral design (100 BCE–100 CE), the other a spiral pattern (200 BCE–100 CE)—crafted by way of a mosaic glass technique, which allowed the artisan to create a repeatable image.
