Egypt, the land on the Nile, has always fascinated people. The palm-fringed river landscape in the middle of the desert, the pyramids and temple ruins as stone testimonies to a millennia-old culture have inspired the imagination of travelers at all times. Napoleon's Egyptian campaign brought the land on the Nile to the attention of the European public at the time of Classicism; the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter led to a veritable Egyptomania during the Art Deco period. In the middle of the 20th century, Egyptian art and culture once again entered the world's consciousness - with Liz Taylor's portrayal of Cleopatra in the 1963 film of the same name. This bracelet was created just a few years earlier. According to the hallmark, it was made by hand in Egypt in 1959. This magnificent piece of jewelry wraps around the wrist like a wide, slightly tapered cuff. A multitude of colorful stones adorn its warm, luminous gold surface, reminiscent of the colorful splendor of ancient Egyptian jewelry with its colorful faience, glowing gemstones and polychrome enameling. The luxurious appearance of the bracelet was perfectly suited to the economic boom after the Second World War - and even today, this extravagant piece of jewelry makes its wearer shine like a pharaoh from the Nile.
