Ornaments played different roles in Egypt. In addition to human attraction, by nature, to beautiful things, ornaments were of religious and magical significance in the ancient Egyptian world, protecting the wearer from evil.
Ancient Egyptians began making jewelery from the modern era of Badari and Naqada, in prehistoric times, of simple materials. Such as: branches of plants, shells, beads, solid stones or bones, and these were arranged in filaments of flax or cowhide. To give the stones some sparkle, the ancient Egyptians began to paint them with glass. They have acquired the skill of making ornaments of semiprecious stones and various metals such as gold and silver, since the first family era. The goldsmiths industry reached its peak in the Middle Kingdom era, when the ancient Egyptians mastered the technical methods and precision in making jewelery pieces. Due to the regular mining missions to the Eastern Desert and Nubia, the gold industry in the modern state flourished immeasurably for mineral extraction. These metals were treated and fed in all types of semi-precious stones known in Egypt, such as gold and silver inlays with agate and turquoise.
Ornaments were used in everyday life, through the ages of history; from Pharaonic to Roman. The ancient Egyptians were keen to save a large number of pieces of jewelry inside the graves, and these were placed on the body of the deceased. Large numbers of ornaments have been found in tombs, including wreaths, crowns, natural hairline and hairline collars, and various kinds of cosmetic palms, such as small veins, golden hoops and simple bands of ornaments. There were also different types of belts, such as waist belts and belts with vertical straps. Jewelry is also made of earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings and contracts.
The vest is a type of jewelry that never appeared in any of the other civilizations and was worn around the chest. They were usually made of gold, or gold-plated metal. Even if made of cheap material, it was painted in yellow; to take the appearance of gold. The wearing of a gold vest is still known in the Egyptian countryside, although in this case the bra has taken on a different name: the "kurdan". Every rural girl dreams of wearing kordans of gold, glorifying him.
In Egypt, men were also used as jewelers, until the Roman era. But since the advent of Christianity to the country, and many of its people have converted to the new religion, the trends and manifestations of luxury and luxury have become less common; replaced by manifestations of piety and piety and religiosity. The jewelry was made of cheaper materials bearing Christian symbols; such as the cross, doves and the hieroglyphics, instead of the veils and amulets that were used before. After the advent of Islam to Egypt, men were forbidden to adorn themselves with gold ornaments; they continued to use alternative materials, such as silver.
Various types of sticks were found, such as ceremonial sticks, wands, solvents, sticks, or crutches. These sticks were usually made of wood, sometimes surfed or dipped in gold and fed with semi-precious stones.
