The Art And History Of Ancient Egyptian Jewelry

Ancient Egyptian jewelry is among some of the most rare and exquisite pieces of ancient history ever found. Both men and women wore jewelry, and these personal adornments were not just limited to beaded necklaces and finger rings.

Jewelry
such as anklets, collars, bracelets, fillets and earrings embodied everyday Egyptian dress, so much so, that even in death the poorest of individuals would still be found wearing a string of beads or a simple bracelet.
