LIZZIE FORTUNATO
In lieu of the usual inspiration found on her travels, Elizabeth Fortunato looks local to The Met’s ancient Egyptian and Greek galleries in NYC. The results resemble unearthed and unique antique treasures, ranging from natural pebbles inlaid with semiprecious stones to multi-charm necklaces with freshwater pearls, mother-of-pearl pendants, and coin-like charms steeped in aged, storied allure.
The buy: the Forte charm necklace with gold-plated brass talismanic cornicello charms and rings inlaid with garnet and tourmaline.
