18k French Egyptian Revival Pharaoh Pendant

Egyptian Revival jewelry soared in popularity during the Art Deco period, sparked by the worldwide fascination with ancient Egypt following the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. This global 'Egyptomania' influenced art, fashion, and jewelry design, with motifs like pharaohs, scarabs, and hieroglyphs becoming symbols of mystery and opulence.

This stunning French 18k gold pharaoh exemplifies the movement, meticulously hand-detailed, the pharaoh is depicted wearing a diamond necklace and a diamond-fringed nemes headdress, enhanced by vivid synthetic sapphire and ruby stripes—a hallmark of the era’s bold use of color and materials.

Both stylish and versatile, this piece can be worn as a pendant or brooch, thanks to its removable bail. A magnificent fusion of Art Deco elegance and ancient Egyptian influence, it embodies a moment in history when the wonders of the past ignited the imagination of the modern world.
