Greek Key Gems Tiger

$50.00 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. This pair of earrings evokes a meandering rectilinear pattern known as the Greek key, featured on a Met collection terracotta amphora. The ancient Greek artwork is attributed to Exekias, a 6th-century BCE potter and painter who was considered the greatest single black-figure artist of his time. Our earrings reimagine Exekias’s decorative design in plated gold offset by two striking tiger’s-eye gemstones.
