Set of necklace and earrings made of ancient Egyptian faience beads.

Descriptio Contemporary jewelry made with antique faience beads, featuring silver clasps and hooks. Measurements: Necklace length: 45 cm. Earring length: 2 cm excluding hooks. This elegant jewelry set comprises a necklace and a pair of matching earrings, crafted by combining Egyptian faience beads from the Hyksos period with a contemporary setting that revives the ornamental traditions of ancient Egypt. The piece stands out for its unique combination of archaeological elements and modern design, offering a contemporary interpretation of the jewelry used during the Second Intermediate Period of Egyptian civilization. Faience beads are one of the most representative materials of Pharaonic jewelry, prized for their vibrant colors and the symbolic meanings associated with their hues. This material, made from a siliceous composition coated with a vitreous enamel surface, allowed Egyptian artisans to produce beads, amulets, and small decorative objects that evoked the appearance of precious stones such as turquoise and lapis lazuli. During the Hyksos period, corresponding to the dynasties that ruled part of Egyptian territory during the 17th and 16th centuries BC, the production of personal adornments reflected the continuity of Egyptian traditions and the incorporation of cultural influences from the Near East. Necklaces and earrings played an important ornamental role and could be associated with beliefs related to protection, prosperity, and renewal. This set has been designed and assembled in contemporary times using antique beads, preserving their historical character and adapting them into an elegant and functional composition. The necklace, 45 cm long, features a silver clasp, while the earrings, 2 cm long excluding the hooks, incorporate suspension elements made of the same metal. The harmony between the two pieces allows the beauty of the beads to be appreciated, as well as their significance as evidence of the artisanal techniques developed in Pharaonic Egypt. Their design combines the simplicity of traditional forms with a contemporary aesthetic, resulting in a unique jewelry set, especially appealing to collectors of antiques and lovers of historically inspired pieces. The beads exhibit the surface characteristics typical of their age, while the clasps, hooks, and mounting are of modern manufacture. This lot is located in an international warehouse (outside the EU). For shipments to the European Union, import duties and/or taxes will apply and are the responsibility of the buyer.
