Egyptian Revival jewelry became very popular during the Art Déco Era of the 1920s-'30s.
In 1922, King Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered, inspiring an Egyptian Revival in jewelry design. Scarabs, pharaohs, pyramids, lotus blossoms, and the eye of Horus were common motifs of Egyptian Revival jewelry. |
