Art necklaces make unique gifts for her. This double-strand necklace evokes a similar beaded design dating to around 1479–1425 BCE, that once belonged to the three wives of the long-reigning Egyptian king Thutmose III. Now in The Met's Egyptian Art collection, the ancient artwork is composed of three strands of gold, lapis lazuli, and turquoise-glass beads—a striking color combination closely echoed by our timeless necklace design.
