Mother-of-Pearl Mosaic T-Bar Pendant Necklace

Unique jewelry is the ideal gift for her.

The naturally iridescent mother-of-pearl pendant adorning this necklace reinterprets a lustrous Indian powder flask (18th–19th-century) in The Met collection. Crafted in Gujarat for the export market, this artful vessel of shimmering green turban shell was created to contain gunpowder. The Museum is home to a vast collection of diversely decorated powder flasks from around the world.
