Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. The celestial motifs defining this brooch are adapted from a type of print called a broadside depicting 48 allegorical figures pertaining to the sun and the moon. The original, now in The Met collection, was printed about 1860-70 by Juan Llorens (Spanish, active ca. 1855-70), an active publisher of broadsides in Barcelona. Broadsides were issued by the thousands and sold on the street or in publishers' shops beginning in 16th-century Europe. These inexpensive sheets of small images, made to entertain the buyer with depictions of current news, children's games, popular tales, and so on, were so well received that certain printing presses made them their specialty. Many early broadsides have been lost due to their ephemeral nature, but numerous others survive in The Met collection. Click

An art tee, inspired by The Met collection. This artful unisex tee features Jackson Pollock's (American, 1912-1956) Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) (1950), which he completed in October 1950. The Met acquired this monumental "drip" painting in 1957, the year after the artist's unexpected death-a testament to how quickly his revolutionary style was accepted into the canon of modern art. But this large-scale work was derived from the muralism of the 1930s. "I intend to paint large movable pictures which will function between the easel and the mural," Pollock proclaimed. "The tendency of modern feeling is towards the wall picture or mural."

William Morris (British, 1834-1896) believed that beauty, imagination, and order were the necessary components of a strong design. Perhaps best known for his wallpaper patterns, Morris frequently looked to the English countryside for inspiration. Our leather journal features one of his most iconic patterns, Brother Rabbit (design registered May 20, 1882; printed 1917-23), and makes a charming addition to any desk space or book bag.

Unique, art-inspired gifts for her. This endearing elephant honors the great 'Alam Guman Gajraj as depicted in a magnificent watercolor painted around 1640 and now in The Met's Islamic Art collection. The Museum's portrait, which is attributed to the artist Bichitr (Indian, active ca. 1610-60), features a Persian inscription commemorating the animal as the "king of elephants." Elephants were prized in Indian courts, and this mighty tusker was presented to the Mughal emperor Jahangir during the New Year celebrations of March 21, 1614.

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. A remarkable gold-and-lapis earring (6th-5th century B. C.) in The Met's Cesnola Collection of Cypriot art bears a robust crescent or "boat-shaped" design, presented here in green jade. Cyprus's positioning as a way station for ships in the eastern Mediterranean is reflected in the diversity of the island's jewelry. The boat shape was evidently popular in the ancient world; the Museum houses a number of Cypriot, Greek, Roman, and Etruscan earrings with a similar silhouette.

As the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, designer William Morris (British, 1834-1896) believed beauty, imagination, and order were the necessary components of a strong design. Perhaps best known today for his wallpaper patterns, Morris frequently looked to the nature of the English countryside for inspiration as he created some 46 wall and ceiling paper designs. Certain to add style and charm to any desk space, our elegant paperweight features one of the designer's most iconic patterns, Strawberry Thief (design registered 1883, printed 1917-23).

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. In the early 19th century, luxurious shawls from Kashmir became indispensable fashion accessories for the stylish European woman. The patterns on these costly, hand-woven shawls generally incorporated the boteh form, an ancient Persian motif based on the tree of life. By the midcentury, machine-made reproductions were being produced with popularity in Europe. Paisley, which is derived from the boteh design, gets its name from the Scottish town that produced many of these shawls until they fell out of favor in the 1870s. A mid-19th-century French or Scottish example in The Met collection, presenting a "four seasons" layout swirling around a central point, informs our stylish wool interpretation with self-fringe edges.

Art gifts for kids inspired by The Met collection. This charming doll recalls the graceful woman in Pictures of Ten Styles: A Young Woman with a Dog (ca. 1790-91), a woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga (Japanese, 1752-1815). The artist portrays her wrapped in a stylish outer robe decorated with chrysanthemums over a type of kimono called a furisode, featuring orchid designs. In the original image, this stately woman of high standing is pictured with a Japanese spaniel, a breed of dog prized for its elegance.

This charming brooch in lightly antiqued, 24K gold plate is adorned with enamel and Swarovski® crystals. It celebrates Cornflowers and Buttercups (ca. 1900) by Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846-1920). Featuring a bee perched atop a golden bouquet of buttercups, the exquisite confection is crafted in gold, enamel, rose diamonds, and rubies; its vase and "water" are carved from rock crystal. A visionary artisan and jeweler, Fabergé counted the Russian imperial family among his firm's elite clientele. Both Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and her sister, Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, were charmed by Fabergé's flower creations. Produced in cooperation with the British Royal Collection.

An art tee inspired by The Met collection. Our soft tee presents a detail from Adolf Dehn's (American, 1895-1968) Spring in Central Park (1941), which depicts a verdant Sheep Meadow with midtown Manhattan landmarks-including the Hampshire House, Essex House, and the Empire State Building-rising in the distance. This bucolic watercolor in The Met collection is one of several seasonal vistas Dehn painted of Central Park and the New York skyline.

This radiant brooch recalls the famous Magnolia Vase in The Met collection, the centerpiece of Tiffany & Co.'s display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The gleaming design is crafted in silver plate and accented with enamel, for a floral touch, day or evening. The pin coordinates with our Magnolia Stud Earrings and Magnolia Pendant Necklace. The exceptional craftsmanship and innovative techniques manifested in the original Tiffany & Co. vase-particularly the naturalism of the enameled magnolias-led it to be described as "one of the most remarkable specimens of the silversmith… that has ever been produced anywhere." Due to the hand-painted elements in this jewelry, the color of the enamel may vary.

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. This rich blue jewelry is inspired by a spectacular Spanish baldric (first half 17th century), a type of crossbody belt or chain often worn to support a sword. Much of the scholarship around jewelry fashions throughout history is informed by portraits in which the sitters wear a certain style of adornment. An enameled example very much like the one displayed in The Met's Vélez Blanco Patio, dedicated to the decorative arts of Spain between 1450 and 1700, is worn diagonally across the chest in an early 17th-century portrait of a young man. We've honored the blue detailing on the original, featuring champlevé enamel, with semiprecious lapis and enamel elements. Click

The perfect Met Museum souvenir. The pretty pattern on this rollerball pen from Retro 51 nods to an 18th-century Chinese rank badge featuring a ferocious tiger beneath swirling clouds. Such spectacularly embroidered badges were worn by government officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties; badges with birds indicated a civil official while animals such as the tiger were reserved for military officers, and each creature corresponded to a specific rank.

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. The fruiting, flowering vines embroidered on this charming shawl recall the 18th-century embroidery embellishing a bedcover housed in The Met's American Wing. Original embroidered textiles from this period in American history are rare; most extant examples are preserved in museums, and many others were repurposed to salvage the artisan's work. The vines on the Museum's bedcover were likely transferred from a set of bed curtains, perhaps during the 19th-century Colonial Revival movement. The bedcover appears to be an heirloom of the Cabot family, who resided in Salem, Massachusetts, at the time the embroidery was made around 1760. Click

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. An ancient ring crafted during Greece's Classical period is transformed into contemporary carnelian jewelry. These stud earrings nod to the ring's fiery carnelian centerpiece, which is enveloped by a setting accented with gold filigree. This timeless adornment from the 5th century B. C. is part of The Met's celebrated Greek and Roman art collection. Click

Our elegant jacquard shawl adapts the floral design from a gorgeous Favrile glass vase in The Met collection. Designed about 1909 by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933), this striking object is embellished with white gladioli. Popular among Art Nouveau artisans, this motif offered a nearly infinite range of colorways. The designer never sold this vase; rather, he kept it in his own collection.

Gift her a unique, artful piece of jewelry. This head-turning statement necklace celebrates three striking glass pieces in The Met collection: a stripy blue inlay dated to Early Imperial Rome (1st half of 1st century A. D.) and two Egyptian inlay fragments-one bearing a floral design (100 B. C.-A. D. 100), the other a spiral pattern (200 B. C.-A. D. 100)-crafted by way of a mosaic glass technique, which allowed the artisan to create a repeatable image.

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. This handcrafted necklace evokes a splendid Egyptian collar (ca. 1504-1450 B. C.) 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 vision of this outstanding broad collar is both eye-catching and lightweight for an effortless statement. Click
