Contemporary Jewellery Influenced by Ancient Egypt

Jewellery By Azza Fahmy Jeweller 

This designer produced a series of jewellery inspired from Ancient Egypt
we see direct influences and some pieces with the designers spin on Ancient Egypt jewellery



Winged Scarab Necklace in 18ct Gold and Filigree holding a faceted Amethyst gem 


In this piece we see the betel that from my research I have found that it is a symbol of protection, The designer used semi-precious stoned as the Egyptians did, but the designer used sliver for the majority of this piece and from my research we have found that for the Egyptians it was much rarer to have there jewellery in sliver then in gold.





Vulture Nekhbet Masterpiece

In this piece we see intricate details/ repetitive patterns , we see a icon of the Egyptian vulture. 




 Winged Scarab Ring

Once again the designer uses the scarab betel symbol of protection and a warn of evil, a mix of gold and sliver material. 

Pharaonic Cuff Masterpiece

In this piece we see alot of Egypiation incons like the betel and the eye and the use of precious stone turquoise

What i have realized from this designer design is that see always uses gold for the icon of the betel.
