While doing some research about historical furnishings for a class at the Met this afternoon, I came across this exquisite Egyptian jewelry from 1887 - 1813 BC. These bracelets belonged to Princess Sithathoryunet and were found in a special niche of her underground tomb. I absolutely love the combination of gold, the orange/red of the carnelian stone, and the soothing color of turquoise. Please excuse my poor photography — I know it’s terrible but I wanted to show you all…

Even though the weather is getting cooler and palettes are turning toward deeper plums and jewel tones of the fall, I can’t help but be attracted to this invigorating palette. It made me think of what it would look like in a room. Variations already exist, including a living room designed by Amanda Nisbet and David Jiminez’s Palm Springs home:
