This jewelry is inspired by an ancient Egyptian necklace combining semi-precious stones and gold spacers. In ancient Egypt many semi-precious stones were believed to possess magical powers. Gold, which never lost its luster and seemed to reflect the power and glory of the sun, was regarded as a divine metal.

The ancient Egyptians embellished their usually plain clothing with elaborate costume jewelry. Both men and women wore jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, and beaded necklaces. They incorporated into their jewelry many minerals including amethyst, garnet, jasper, onyx, turquoise, and lapis lazuli as well as copper, gold, and shells.
