In connection with the exhibition "Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261–1557)" the Metropolitan Museum collaborated with The Gem Palace in Jaipur—jewelry suppliers to India's royal families for more than seven generations—to produce handcrafted pieces that reflect the intricate technique and glorious splendor of Byzantine jewelry.

Precious and semiprecious stones—emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, and tourmalines—are set in designs based on the magical pieces that have survived from the empire founded by Constantine in A.D. 330. Our contemporary adaptations emphasize the unique combinations of intense color and refined metalworking techniques of the Byzantine culture, whose influence extended beyond the empire's borders into Egypt, Southern Europe, and Syria, and later into Slavic countries.

This 22K bracelet features rose-cut diamonds surrounded by radiating spirals. Width 2 in., inner circumference 6 3/8 in.
