New The Met Store William Morris Blackthorn Enamel Hoop Earrings

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

The botanical motif adorning these enamel hoops comes from Blackthorn (1892), a block-printed wallpaper design approved by William Morris (British, 1834–1896) and now in The Met collection. Morris was a prolific designer of elevated fabrics and decorative objects. Profoundly inspired by nature, he created mesmerizing motifs comprising rambling blooms and lush fruits.
