Product Description
Product Description
Jewellery was an integral part of ancient Egyptian culture, worn for both decorative and symbolic purposes. Nearly everyone wore some kind of jewellery - men, women and children, kings, queens and common people alike. This kit contains the necessary components to make a range of Egyptian jewellery including earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The accompanying book provides step-by-step instructions and clear easy-to-follow diagrams. The beads have been researched to provide the most authentic reproduction of ancient faience and the kit also includes a specially designed jewellery-making tool.

When I received this as a Xmas present some years ago, I soon discovered that a decent set of jewellery tools were necessary as this kit involved a lot of wire cutting and looping, in fact I only ever finished one project as a result. However, having said that, the designs give a fascinating insight to the ancient art of jewellery making as practised by the ancient Egyptians.

Inspiring
16 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
I've had this book for over ten years,(First got it when I was eleven, and am 22 now), and I was elated when I found it again in old moving boxes.
The directions in the book are very easy to follow, good enough that a kid with no jewelry experience could make the big blue and gold necklace featured on the cover, and I still wear it today.
Re-reading the book today is very inspiring for other projects with similar designs, even though I've long since used up the beads. This had to have been one of my favorite things when I was growing up.
