Egyptian Jewelry - The Timeless Fashion Trend


The history of Egyptian jewelry is the stuff of romance, of pagan gods and Pharaohs, of mummification and rebirth, of scarab beetles and Nefertiti, Tutankhamun and much later Cleopatra. Egyptian jewellery can be traced back to about 4500 BC but it has set a timeless fashion trend. Today’s museum jewellery of Egypt is about crowns and brooches, and girdles and earrings. The ancient Egyptians were master craftsmen in the making of jewellery using bronze, silver and gold and their alloys. They used precious stones as well as glass. Enamels of rich colors were used besides lapis and quartz. Expert craftsmen now re create Egyptian jewelry in silver necklaces using garnet, silver bracelets with scarabs and excellent replicas of ankh pendants. There are Thebes’s crown jewels from 3000 BC, an exotic silver amulet with a fertility figure and an exquisite royal necklace with a gold plated chain among much more fashionable jewelry.
