Timeless Jewelry for the Young at Heart
The history of jewelry is a long one with many different uses among different cultures. It is the oldest forms of body adornment and has been used for self expression and to communicate cultural differences from the beginning of time. The first sign of jewelry in ancient Egypt was about 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. Much of the jewelry made and worn by the Egyptians of the pass has greatly influence jewelry that is worn today. Egyptians created earrings, bracelets, armbands and collars for royalty, warriors and scholars. Today people wear oversized gold cuffs, chokers and armbands similar to that of the ancient Egyptian culture.
Egyptians loved gold and precious gems. Some gems were often used as symbols of power. In 1200 B.C.E. Egyptians created beads that were geomantic and floral designed. Costume jewelry came into existence at this time. Rings and amulets were worn to ward off evil spirits and injury. With the discovery of artifacts from ancient tombs, which included silver, gold, necklaces, rings and bracelets, the wonderful style of ancient Egyptian jewelry is available now. This style of jewelry can also be personalized in hieroglyphics.
Egyptian jewelry patterns today are a blend of ancient design with a more modern look. Cartouche jewelry is one example of a popular Egyptian style. A person can personalized this cartouche with their name or with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The cartouche is used as a pendant. The “head of Nefitari” pendant is also a favorite today among those looking for Egyptian jewelry. Another piece of jewelry called the Ka bracelet is also another popular piece of Egyptian jewelry today. It is inlaid with turquoise, onyx and lapis lazuli.
In ancient Egypt jewelry was not restricted to women and Men also wore jewelry until the Roman era. When Christianity came to Egypt wearing a lot of jewelry became less common. The style of jewelry than changed; most jewelry begins to be made with a cheaper material bearing crosses, pigeons and the Egyptian Ankh sign.
Egyptian jewelry today is available in online stores as well as offline stores. The symbols and traditions of the Egyptian era are still used in modern design. These pieces of jewelry are no longer reserved for the gods and royalty.
