Necklace with ancient Egyptian Lapis Lazuli and carnelian beads from the Late period. The ancient beads are carefully restrung, making them suitable for modern wear while preserving their historical charm.
Length: ± 55 cm
Lapis Lazuli bead: ± 27,9 x 9,1 mm
Certificate:
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for all lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
Condition:
Good condition and wearable. The ancient beads are restrung and combined with modern gold-plated spacer beads and fittings. Minor surface irregularities and signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Provenance:
Composed of beads originating from various old collections, acquired in the UK between 2016–2024.
Character:
Each ancient bead displays subtle variations and signs of age, reflecting its long history and adding to the unique charm of every composition.
Please note:
Photographed in a professional studio against a deep black background to enhance contrast and detail. Studio lighting and individual screen settings may slightly affect the appearance of colours.
Historical background:
-> Lapis Lazuli was associated with strength, courage, royalty, wisdom and truth. The dark blue colour reminded the Egyptian of the night skies and the gold pyrite flecks as the stars. It was favoured by the Egyptian pharaohs and was famously used in the burial mask of King Tutankhamun.
-> The Egyptians believed carnelian had magical powers; it was believed it could ward off evil, help the blood circulation and make the skin look healthy and youthful.
Carnelian was known as the 'Blood of Isis' (Goddess of nature and guide of souls to the Underworld). Accordingly, a carnelian amulet called a 'thet' was placed on mummies to assist the dead in their journey to the afterlife.
The Egyptian faith in carnelian was so strong that, along with turquoise and lapis lazuli, it was the most used stone in ancient Egyptian jewellery.
