When British archeologist Howard Carter unearthed the magnificent treasures and splendor of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, he introduced the world to a little known boy king and sparked a global Egyptian revival craze fondly called "Tut-mania."
From art, film and architecture to fashion, hairstyles and jewelry, Egyptian motifs started appearing on everything! King Tut brand lemons, Old Egypt cigarettes, even President Herbert Hoover named his beloved dog after the boy prince. There was no escaping Tut-mania, and honestly who would want to?
This incredible pendant brooch was created during the Tut-mania craze and is a prime example of how ancient Egyptian motifs influenced the jewelry of the time.
Crafted in Egyptian silver, this exquisite piece can be won as a brooch or a pendant. It features an image of the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Giza.
