INSPIRED BY: In ancient Egypt, lapis was highly regarded as a stone of celestial origin and as a symbol for truth.

All of the jewelry is hand assembled in our offices in Boston and Colorado. HIGH QUALITY: We use genuine semi-precious stones, natural freshwater pearls and Austrian crystals. Most jewelry elements are composed of lead free, nickel free and cadmium free base metal plated with a nickel free 18k gold, antique gold, or silver finish. OVER 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS: Our artists recreate timeless designs from many remarkable art institutions to bring to the public what was once confined to museum walls. Each institution benefits directly from the sale of jewelry reproduced from their collections. We work closely with museums to create either an authentic reproduction or a piece inspired by their collections. These Egyptian revival style earrings feature lapis lazuli stones.
Adaptation of ancient jewelry became very popular in Europe in the mid 19th century. The Castellani workshop in Naples, with Henry Walters visited in 1909, was famous for this style of jewelry. Our Egyptian Revival collection, featuring real lapis cabochons and beads, is inspired by a necklace that was made in the Castellani workshop. In ancient Egypt, lapis was highly regarded as a stone of celestial origin and as a symbol for truth. The original necklace was made of gold with carved gemstone cabochons.
