Sale The Met Store Egyptian Nefer Amulet Red Jasper Chandelier Earrings

Unique gifts for her.

These handcrafted earrings evoke a splendid Egyptian collar (ca. 1504–1450 BCE) of amulets featuring the “nefer” hieroglyph, which signifies a word meaning “good” or “beautiful.” The auspicious symbolism of the Museum’s adornment suggests that it may have been made to bring good fortune to the wearer—in this case, a wife of the pharaoh Thutmose III. Our contemporary visions of this outstanding broad collar are both eye-catching and lightweight for an effortless statement.  

Due to the natural elements in this jewelry, the color of the stones may vary.
