The Metropolitan Museum of Art Etruscan Lapis Pendant Necklace

Accented with lapis stones, our timeless pendant necklace is modeled after a pair of stunning gold earrings (4th century B. C.) in The Met collection, which feature amphora-shaped pendants enclosed in a ring. In the region of Italy now known as Tuscany, Etruscan civilization flourished between the 7th and 4th centuries B. C. The wealthy, cosmopolitan, and luxury-loving Etruscans developed some of the finest gold, silver, and bronze jewelry of the ancient world. Due to the natural elements in this jewelry, the color of the stones may vary.
