Ancient Egyptian Necklace

  • 2 years ago
The Egyptians were indeed admirers of Beauty. There existed distinction between the rich and the poor. Poorer people wore jewellery made from clay or bone. Richer people had more elaborate jewellery made from bronze, silver or gold.

Ancient Egyptians wore various shapes and kinds of jewellery, some of which are Bracelets and Bangles, finger rings, amulets, cartouches, pectorals, necklaces, earrings, crowns, belts and vests.

During the Badari and Naqada eras ancient Egyptian ornaments were made from simple natural materials; including, plant branches, shells, beads, solid stones or bones. Threads of flax or cow hair were often used to string together necklaces and amulets. Glass substances were used to paint stones in order to give jewellery brilliance.
