Enchanted Jewelry of Egypt: The Traditional Art and Craft Hardcover – January 31, 2007

Amazing book that covers the entire region, explaining through the author's personal experience and data collected over the last 40 years why jewellery in Egypt varied from one area to the other, and how the location, environmental conditions and traditions affected the design and the choice of material. Stunning images in the book as well as interesting information about jewellery in Egypt over the past century.

One of the very few books on Egyptian ethnic jewelry. Nice pictures, good text. A few mistakes in the text about jewelry that is in fact not made in Egypt but Yemeni. Al together a useful book for collectors!
