There's something about a beautiful piece of jewelry. Since the dawn of civilization jewelry has been an integral part of culture; of who we are. It says a lot about us. Tastes, styles and statements have changed, but our love for those sparkling, precious objects has never diminished. Long before clothing developed into fashion those rare jewels and precious metals were a cherished symbol of prestige and beauty. Over time, jewelry has evolved from the mystical religious symbols of pagans and objects of power and opulence of royalty to universal fashion everyone can appreciate.

 

Egypt
       Throughout the ages jewelry has made a statement about the people and the culture that produced it - from religious beliefs to statements about social standing. One of the most famous ancient treasures ever found is that of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen. The Egyptian goldsmiths were highly skilled artisans who covered the mummy with a large quantity of gold and jewels. Among the ornaments found in the tomb were necklaces, amulets, pendants, bracelets, earrings, and rings of the typical style of the time. Egyptian jewelry was highly symbolic and symmetrical and had precise religious and mystical meanings. Some of the symbols used in their jewelry were the scarab (a large beetle), lotus flower, falcon, and serpent.
