The design of our pendant is based on a remarkable German ring ensemble from around 1730–40. The ensemble consists of a single gold ring and 48 cut stones that can be inserted into or removed from the ring according to the wearer’s taste. This ensemble is an exquisite example of a work in peitre dure, meaning “hard stone” in Italian, which refers to the artistic cutting of semi-precious stones to fashion extravagant luxury objects, from architectural ornament and furniture to ornate display items and personal jewelry. From the Renaissance to the early 19th century, the affluent societies of Europe were mesmerized by works in pietre dure, both as diplomatic gifts and as objects of desire. The original ring ensemble on which our pendant is based originally belonged to Phillip Karl von Eltz (1665–1743), one of the great lords of Germany and the highest-ranking ecclesiastical priest-elector in the Holy Roman Empire. Produced in cooperation with the Eltz Castle, Burg Eltz, Germany. 22K... See less

After Egypt came under the rule of the Hellenistic Greeks (323–27 B.C.), and later became a province of the Roman empire (after 27 B.C.), ancient Egyptian jewelry, with its characteristic forms, materials, and colors, nearly ceased to be manufactured. Jewelry was still made and worn in Egypt during the Greco-Roman period, but it was no longer distinctively Egyptian. Whereas the Egyptians had created their jewelry around amuletic shapes with symbolic meanings, Greco-Roman jewelry celebrated the rarity, value, and beauty of the materials used. Late in the Hellenistic period, emerald mines were discovered in the Red Sea hills of Egypt; in the Roman era, craftsmen especially favored the use of this stone. Our classic ring is based on an original ring in the Museum’s collection that is set with a cylindrical emerald found in Egypt and stylistically datable to the period of Roman rule during the 1st century A.D. 14K gold with 24K gold plate and emerald. Available in size 6, 7, or 8. See less

Thing of the past? Or icon to admire? Something to ponder with designer Harry Allen’s latest entry in his Reality Series, with the resin-case rollerskate—which can be used as a door stop or book end.
