TL;DR

- Each piece in the collection will feature a QR code that directs buyers to the original source.
Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee drew inspiration from ancient Byzantine objects, including funerary pieces and Roman sarcophagi housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for his latest high jewelry line. Initially dismissing the museum's collaboration invitation as spam, the designer eventually agreed to work with the institution due to its contemporary perspective on antiquity.
The upcoming collection features items such as gold wrist cuffs adorned with garnet cabochons and brown diamonds, modeled after ancient marble sculptures. Every jewel in the line will include a QR code linking buyers back to the historical artifact that inspired it.
The high jewelry collection marks the beginning of a multi-year collaboration with The Met. The line is scheduled to debut on September 15 at New York Fashion Week.
