In ancient Egypt, amulets, beads, and jewellery were made out of a wide range of materials including faience, hardstone, lapis lazuli, carnelian, amethyst, jasper and metal. Among them, silver was considered the most precious for its rarity. Much of the metal during the time was imported from Western Asia, and items of silver were valued higher than those of gold until the New Kingdom.
