Why Egyptian Jewelry Is Special
The story of Egyptian jewelry goes back some 5000 years to around 3000 BC. By this time the Egyptians were already experts in the use of gold alloyed with different metals in their jewelry so that they could get the right combination of both hardness and color. By 2500 BC you could see a number of antique pendants and mummies with figurines of animals and goddesses besides rings from Egypt. You can still see genuine antique Egyptian jewelry from around 1400 BC with the famous scarab beetle motif.
A visit to the online antique jewelry stores will tell you why Egyptian jewelry is so special. When you see these excellent copies of antique jewelry from the 3100-900 BC period you feel as if you have been transported to the days of Cleopatra or you are among the Pharaohs. There are pieces from the period of Tutankhamun besides the famed Thebes’ Crown jewels.
There are beautiful antique pendants like the Ankh pendant in sterling silver in these online antique jewelry stores. The figure in the pendant represented eternal life and it is believed that the wearer acquired supernatural powers. The ancient Egyptians would place such amulets along with the mummies in the crypt to ensure their everlasting life.
You also have exquisite silver bracelets with scarab beetles, lapis and pearl necklaces and a pair of most attractive Thebes Petal Earrings in the shape of the lotus in lapis and sterling silver.
You are carried back to the Middle Kingdom with a pair of Onyx Earrings or an Egyptian sterling silver and lapis tube necklace. Lapis with its brilliant blue color worked in gold blessed the wearer with the sun’s protection. The barrel garnet necklace, the pre dynastic figure in sterling silver, the Egyptian Dashur necklace from the Middle Kingdom, the Scarab and Lapis earrings, the lapis and turquoise necklace and the cat amulet pendant each of these pieces of Egyptian jewelry crafted with precision and care has a story to tell regarding the culture and history of the ancient Egyptians. It is for these reasons that Egyptian jewelry is so special.
