A few of the jewelry was in the shape of animals and birds, filled with powders, oils, unguents, and perfumes. Man, wouldn't you want to be royalty with everyone at your every foot and knee when you want something? I know I sure would. Although I'm not talking about Cleopatra, but she would always wear a cobra on a piece of jewelry because she liked them so much. </div>JeKaylaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157695034561769588noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456733003605639399.post-73788180713430104772009-01-04T16:31:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:40:40.462-08:00Even Poor People Wore Jewelry?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6z6lfV1eksFJOBZHQhrxUX3vZRMclfD2IxneeVqrOmUL2YuZsjtetH9r4-YdpSFoVrxPiunvkVg8JDS61w6aOIqWYqJVXHuKFMGc45Pj-xmI2oNU9tjjDY8E1m6ptAfxctmGEYe6QcEk/s1600-h/mummybead_sample.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287606626222621154" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 187px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6z6lfV1eksFJOBZHQhrxUX3vZRMclfD2IxneeVqrOmUL2YuZsjtetH9r4-YdpSFoVrxPiunvkVg8JDS61w6aOIqWYqJVXHuKFMGc45Pj-xmI2oNU9tjjDY8E1m6ptAfxctmGEYe6QcEk/s200/mummybead_sample.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Although their jewelry wasn't expensive or flashy, they still wore some type of jewelry. To be specific, they wore copper instead of gold jewelry like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pharaohs</span> or rich people. Too bad the people with gold couldn't just let them borrow it for like a day or two, or maybe for even a year or century. Poor people in the Egyptian society made their own accessories with their bare hands out of shells and pottery. Man I sure am glad I don't have to make my own jewelry. When they wore strings or collars, they wore them with faience beads and amulets(faience is pottery coated with brightly colored glazes). Even the poorest child on the block wore a pottery or bone ring or amulet with a crude image of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Bes</span>.</div>JeKaylaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157695034561769588noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456733003605639399.post-10949764205592642842009-01-04T16:19:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:50:10.377-08:00What Types of Jewelry Did Women Wear?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlVBudgaGTN_j5CbP9wCtnWJBtpSq8r_3KG4HCOTnHSnmn14He5md49OSyInI5qpLHiALTAR4JP3hQhgE8EGcy_15v6PtvJsc3CbX-_lMbKNdLqTPHmoecoT4uD8AMcdO4ZQ8u1URTBRQ/s1600-h/cutestones.jpg"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJAsr76ce5kKqbzoAs6h64znrOEdkNLd0u7-t8auFsGXkhafSp3t_klRPekhuhGCDm-E9xQeHjLFPiWtYgX0sEMHdNO77ntG9iwTK7RUJLrXVawZfqvtzLlRqfA778c0_fIq_x1t0ggA/s1600-h/ambercollier.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287600618944001698" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 175px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJAsr76ce5kKqbzoAs6h64znrOEdkNLd0u7-t8auFsGXkhafSp3t_klRPekhuhGCDm-E9xQeHjLFPiWtYgX0sEMHdNO77ntG9iwTK7RUJLrXVawZfqvtzLlRqfA778c0_fIq_x1t0ggA/s200/ambercollier.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Egyptian</span> women and men wore all types of jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories.

Guess what, the broad collar could measure up to 10 inches! Whoa, now that's a big collar!

No wonder why women and girls wear jewelry. The types of jewelry they would wear, are necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. So, if you want to add a little something to make your outfit look better, then put on a necklace or a pair of earrings.Just like women in our society, they would improve their prestige in the Egyptian society. These beautiful Egyptian ladies wore their accessories everywhere they went. I bet if I were there, with no jewelry on, they'd say,"Hey girlfriend where's your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bling</span>?" Just kidding! Also, they would where their jewelry to parties, gatherings, picnics, everywhere.</div>JeKaylaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157695034561769588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456733003605639399.post-27107675781305211232009-01-04T14:55:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:41:43.438-08:00Magical Amulets, Say What!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp05bj4hj386SNI0XhBfo_nL-6x6Qqvx-B_PKufsSHSpji_qC2rLVXDAwNlBDk1qIsQLdCXORlQappieudtHWduXQunemfWEjQHt61GvCfntN1GyjAS9y3jtsoamaZLVJSR3suD2fgMHY/s1600-h/Ring.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287590593820590658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 184px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp05bj4hj386SNI0XhBfo_nL-6x6Qqvx-B_PKufsSHSpji_qC2rLVXDAwNlBDk1qIsQLdCXORlQappieudtHWduXQunemfWEjQHt61GvCfntN1GyjAS9y3jtsoamaZLVJSR3suD2fgMHY/s200/Ring.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Jewelry, especially amulets, and charms had magical and protective powers. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ooh</span>!magic, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">sorcery</span>!(If you don't know what movie that was from, then it was Night at The Museum).

Too bad I don't need amulets because I'm already a good luck charm. Not only did this type of jewelry give you good luck and ward off evil, they kept you safe from accidents, hunger, and thirst, and snakes, demons, and other everyday dangers. I know you think that amulets come in only one form, but they come in the form of scarabs, and the ankh(symbol of eternal life), animals, gods and goddesses, crows, and the Eye of Horus,which is also known as the symbol of wholeness.</div>JeKaylaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18157695034561769588noreply@blogger.com0
