The Met Store Lotus Pagoda Plique-à-Jour Long Drop Earrings

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection.

These luminous earrings pay homage to the “Lotus Pagoda” lamp, a Japanese-inspired design realized by Tiffany Studios (American, 1902–32) around 1900–15. Now in The Met’s American Wing, this remarkable lamp with a geometric motif—the largest and rarest example of its kind—was owned by an apprentice in architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio. A similar model would be displayed in Wright’s Fallingwater, a landmark house built in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania in the 1930s. Our timeless adornments mimic the luster of the lamp’s Favrile-glass elements with plique-à-jour enameling, a technique that allows light to shine through the material.
