Story:
The First’s Necklace represents the first civilization in recorded human history, the ancient Sumerians from 9000 years ago.

The shield-like symbol embedded on the front center of the necklaced is a de-gendered version of the cuneiform symbol for woman, it was pronounced “munus”. The cuneiform symbols on the back of the necklace was translated to english reads divinity is in each of us. The ridges along the side of the ring represent power and energy emanating from the symbols.

The ancient Sumerians lived at a time when gods were believed to actively walk the earth with man so the inclusion of those two symbols connects with the two things that were the pillars of their society man/woman and the gods.

This piece was designed in both .925 sterling silver and solid 18k yellow gold to reflect the popularity of the use of gold and silver in Sumerian jewelry.

The “First’s earrings” reflect a time long past. Inspired by ancient Sumer as part of our Sumer inspired “First’s” collection.

Ancient Sumer existed 4000-6000 years ago and is often considered the first civilization.

These striking pyramid-form earrings showcase the refined craftsmanship of New York City metalwork.

Crafted from .925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium plating, they resist tarnishing while maintaining a brilliant polish.
Each pair is meticulously hand-finished by skilled artisans, ensuring exceptional quality and durability.
