Jewelry in dynastic Egypt was both decorative and deeply symbolic, masterfully fashioned from gold, semi-precious stones, and faience.

Pharaohs, nobles, and even the elite dead adorned themselves with these treasures, which were believed to provide protection, signify status, and establish a link with the divine.

Popular designs featured scarabs, ankhs, and sacred animals, each imbued with spiritual significance tied to mythology and the promise of the afterlife.
