Necklace

 

            This necklace was used from about 1549-1296 BC.  The beautiful necklace was made out of carnelian, jasper, and serpentine.  The size of this stunning necklace is 44cm.    This necklace was a household object for a woman with lots of riches.  Since cut stones were unknown, any stone uncut was worth a lot.  The blood of Isis is represented by the carnelian, which was one of the most trendy stones of ancient Egypt.  This striking necklace is one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen because of its amazing colors and shapes.
