Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A gorgeous necklace of a wearable form that is constructed from dozens of faience, carnelian, and gold components. Presented in captivating hues of turquoise, vermilion, and gold, this accessory features 20 spherical carnelian beads that alternate with either singular or fused double faience seed beads in glazed blue-green hues.

With modern stringing and a modern double French hook clasp, this is an exquisite synthesis of ancient art combined with modern fashion!
