Ancient Mixed Motifs Glass Triple-Drop Earrings

These eye-catching triple-drop earrings reinterpret 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.
