The design belongs to that 19th-century moment when Europe once again looked to Egypt with curiosity and imagination, translating ancient motifs into fashionable ornament. Its broad gold form, silver accents, and repeated scarab figures give it both presence and rhythm. An unusual bracelet, decorative yet scholarly in spirit, it feels like a small revivalist monument made to be worn. \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e  \u003cb\u003eJewellery Type\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e hinged bangle \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003every good condition for its age \u003cbr\u003emore info on our condition scale \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although the jewel bears French hallmarks, this does not prove that it was made in France.

The first followed Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign, while the third came after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePeriod\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ca. 1870\u003cbr\u003eEvents \u0026amp; facts of this era, poetry of this era, fashion of this era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eSource of inspiration\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Ancient Egyptian motifs and design \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eTheme\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The scarab, associated in ancient Egyptian art with ideas of renewal, transformation, and rebirth, is one of the most recognizable motifs in Egyptian visual culture.
