This unique choker is inspired by William Blake's Satan Exulting over Eve, a work of art from the Getty Museum's collection. Each piece of jewelry consists of highly polished banded jasper, emulating the nuances of color in Blake's drawing. Made in New York City, exclusively for the Getty. Please note, each piece of jasper is unique and colors and patterns may vary. - Dimensions: 17 inches L with 2 inches L extender- Materials: Red and brown jasper, tiger iron, hematite, lobster clasp closure- Made in the USA- Item #: NH-C144REDSatan hovers in malevolent glory over Eve, who is entwined by his alter ego, the serpent of the Garden of Eden.
