Ancient Egyptian Jewelry

All of us girls love to feel like a goddess and what better way than wearing clothing and jewelry that makes us feel gorgeous and sexy. If you had to look to a particular style that has been popular in the Western world for hundreds of years then you need look no further than Ancient Egypt. Fashion designers are constantly drawing on the Egyptian style for their latest collections. One example is the Marchesa 2009 collection which is very popular. Marchesa's Resort 2009 collection included Cleopatra inspired gowns and dresses with beautiful pleating and drapery in white and gold.

Not only will beautifully draped Egyptian style dresses make you look like a goddess but adding a piece of ancient Egyptian inspired jewelry will take the look to the next level. Jewelry was very important in Ancient Egyp and was worn by both men and women. It was worn not only as a symbol of wealth but also as a protection from evil. Religion was extremely important and this was reflected in the jewelry with carvings in the form of scarab beetles, ankhs, eye of horus and falcons. It was common to wear bracelets, collars, earrings, rings, wreaths, crwons, hair bands and necklaces and mainly they used gold and silver inlaid with glass and semi-precious stones. The most popular materials at that time were lapis lazuli, turquoise, amethyst, cornelian, jasper, onyx and quartz crystal. Color was also very important and had different mythological meanings. For example, green symbolized new life and rebirth; blue was the color of heaven and water and also represented life and rebirth; red symbolized fire and the blood of Isis and was the symbol of life and victory; yellow was seen as representing eternity and indestructibility, whilst black was the symbol of death and the night.

What has been copied most from the Egyptians? It's a broad or wide collar called an Usekh. Usually worn by Royalty and priests, the collars often comprised of hundreds of beads such as turquoise, lapis lazuli and coral. If you've seen a bust of Queen Nefertiti, you've probably seen one of these collars. Would you like to look like the beautiful Nefertiti? Then why not make one or buy one? It would certainly add a touch of glamour to either a toga-inspired dress or even a plain black dress.
