Vintage Silver Egyptian Revival Wide Scarab Bracelet with Pharaoh-
Ancient Egyptians brought a real artistic eye to jewelry design and ornamentation. Though Ancient Egyptians prized silver for its rarity, they used gold often, and perfected many of the techniques that would eventually be used in modern jewelry making. Some of the jewelry techniques we associate with Victorian jewelry (repoussé, granulation, filigree, and chasing), were practiced as far back as 1700 B.C. The scarab beetle figured prominently in Ancient Egyptian jewelry, symbolizing the god of the sun. in 1922, the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb and all the treasures that lay inside ushered in a second wave of Egypt-mania. The ensuing press coverage, along with the advent of Hollywood and its epic tales of Cleopatra and Arabian Nights, planted antiquity and exoticism firmly into pop culture. Scarab and snake motifs were back, but this influence took on a more nuanced look, as well. The statuesque look of the pyramids translated into the rigid geometry and symmetrical filigree of the Art Deco movement. in 1922, the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb and all the treasures that lay inside ushered in a second wave of Egypt-mania.
