Museum Provenance

A dazzling recent donation, the circa 1915 Tiffany Amethyst Necklace, features an art nouveau style pendant set with an enormous, square 56-carat amethyst.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
