At the Universal Exhibition of 1867 in Paris, jewelry was very well represented. In addition to archaeological, Renaissance and neo-Louis XVI style ornaments, a large number of naturalist-inspired jewelry were exhibited.
The revival of the Egyptian style was partly due to the interest aroused by the work on the Suez Canal which was rapidly being completed. The other element that played an important role in promoting Egyptian art and the Egyptian Revival was the publication of August Mariette's articles on his excavations in the Nile Valley, which provided a rich source of ideas news for decorative patterns.
Froment-Meurice, Mellerio And Boucheron in Paris, particularly sensitive to the influence of Pharaonic Egypt, produced a wide range of jewelry where the preferred decorative motifs were falcons, winged scarabs and papyri in opaque green, red and blue enamels. Collectors were particularly fond of placing period earthenware and hardstone scarabs in the center of gold jewelry.
