Description
Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. This eye-catching necklace and earrings set is inspired by the luminous blue-hued mosaics decorating the architrave of an elaborate columnar screen (ca. 1905) that once stood at the entrance to Louis C. Tiffany's (American, 1848-1933) home. Laurelton Hall, the sprawling waterfront estate that the Gilded Age visionary designed for himself in Oyster Bay, Long Island, between 1902 and 1905, naturally brimmed with grand architectural elements. Laurelton Hall was the crowning achievement of Louis C. Tiffany's career, though in 1957, it was tragically destroyed by a fire. This loggia, now displayed in The Met's American Wing, was thankfully salvaged from the ruins.
