The Met x Lele Sadoughi Egyptian Turquoise 400 Enamel Bangle

The Color of Kings: The Turquoise Bangle

In the sun-drenched sands of ancient Egypt, turquoise (mefkat) was far more than just a beautiful color—it was the hue of joy, delight, and Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty. Mined from the rugged Sinai Peninsula, this vibrant blue-green stone adorned the wrists of royalty and the grandest of pharaonic broad collars. Bringing this rich heritage into the present, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Lele Sadoughi present an exclusive collaboration. This striking enamel bangle reimagines the intricate, geometric beadwork of antiquity into a sleek, modern statement piece.
