Egyptian Nefer Amulet Ladder Pendant Necklace

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.
