These are the modern day uses/differences of jewelry from ancient Egypt. First of all, nowadays we’ll wear fancy gold and silver jewelry for the glam, and fashion purposes, but ancient Egyptians would wear jewelry as a protection form evil, and to honour some of their gods. In addition, ancient Egyptians would use odd materials like, plants, bones, shells, beads, stones, and fur/feathers. Nowadays the most popular ‘gems’ used are usually cheap silver or diamonds. Furthermore, both men and women would wear the same, and equal amount of jewelry. Today, girls mostly wear the jewelry but some boys will have a baseball necklace, or something like that. Lastly, the design in ancient Egypt mattered a lot to them. If the design didn’t follow strict religious rules when be made, the piece of jewelry would loose all religious value and purpose. In the current days we can design our jewelry however we want, as long as it looks pretty and presentable. Those are the modern day differences of jewelry in ancient Egypt.
