Deep blue gives way to desert turquoise, fiery orange-red, and flashes of gold, creating a palette inspired by the materials that appear again and again in surviving ancient Egyptian jewelry and decorative arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese colors were far more than an aesthetic choice. Lapis lazuli was prized despite having to travel extraordinary distances to reach Egypt. Turquoise was mined in the Sinai, while carnelian brought its translucent red-orange glow to beads, amulets, and other forms of adornment. Together, these materials helped create one of the most recognizable visual languages of the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than reproduce a historical Egyptian necklace, I wanted to take that remarkable material vocabulary and make it effortless to wear now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 17 inches long, \u003cstrong\u003eMosaic\u003c\/strong\u003e sits close to the collarbone, where the small faceted gemstones catch the light without overwhelming the wearer.
