The Metropolitan Museum of Art Rings*Middle Kingdom Knot Two-Tone Ring

Our Handsome Two-Tone Knot Ring Evokes Silver Knot Bracelets Made In Ancient Egypt’S Dynasty 12 To Early Dynasty 13 (Ca. 1850–1775 B.C.). Most Common In The Middle Kingdom, Bracelets Of This Type Were Based On The Belief That Protective Spells Could Be Bound To The Wearer Through A Knot—A Motif Used In Jewelry For Centuries. This Sophisticated Design Is Echoed By Our Adaptation In Sterling Silver With 18K Vermeil Accents.
