EDITORS COMMENTS
In the roaring twenties, the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 ignited a fascination with all things Egyptian that permeated fashion and design. This photograph showcases a selection of exquisite jewellery pieces inspired by the ancient civilization, crafted by the renowned French jeweler, Cartier. The image features a stunning array of brooches, pendants, earrings, and hat pins, each adorned with authentic Egyptian antiques and a replica of the enigmatic pharaoh, Tutankhamen. The trinkets, ranging from 1500 to 3000 years old, were skillfully integrated into modern jewellery designs, creating a unique fusion of history and contemporary elegance. The brooch on the left showcases a golden scarab beetle, an ancient Egyptian symbol of rebirth and transformation, set against a backdrop of intricately designed filigree. The pendant, in the shape of the falcon god Horus, is suspended from a delicate gold chain, adorned with precious gemstones. The earrings, in the form of golden hieroglyphics, dangle gracefully from the earlobes, while the hat pins, topped with miniature replicas of Egyptian statues, add a touch of exotic allure to any headpiece. The influence of Egyptian culture on the fashion and jewellery of the 1920s was profound, and Cartier's masterful creations epitomize the enduring appeal of this ancient civilization. Each piece in this collection is a testament to the power of history to inspire and captivate, as well as the artistry and craftsmanship of the Cartier atelier.
