Ancient Egyptian Mummy Bead Earrings

Fascinate your friends with an intriguing pair of earrings – handmade in Florida from genuine ancient Egyptian beads! In ancient Egypt, faience beads were crafted from ceramic – marking the first time in history that materials were combined and then kiln-fired. Perhaps the most notable uses of these beads was in the creation of jewelry and “mummy nets,” which are thought to have helped the wearer with reincarnation. These beads were recovered before 1970, and have been dated to the first century B.C. Each pair of earrings features a long tubular bead with two smaller beads and sterling silver adornments. The earrings come suspended from hypoallergenic surgical steel ear wires, and come presented in an organza bag with a certificate of authenticity.
