Details

Both elegant and functional, our gleaming round magnifier pendant recalls a fine example of a magnifying glass in The Met collection designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933). Our starry adaptation in 24K gold plate is decorated with glittering Swarovski® crystals. The glass magnifies 4 x power.

The original piece by L. C. Tiffany was crafted in bronze and glass about 1905–20, likely part of a matching desk set. Depictions of magnifiers can also be seen in works of art throughout the Museum, from prints to paintings.
