History
This jewelry is inspired by an ancient Egyptian necklace in the Metropolitan Museum's collection, pairs semi-precious
stones of obsidian and gold spacers. The combination of two strong colors in a
simple design is characteristic of jewelry crafted in ancient Egypt. Black
onyx beads capped with 18 Kt overlay decorate this tasteful necklace. 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.
