• Adaptation of ancient jewelry became very popular in Europe in the mid 19th century. The Castellani workshop in Naples, with Henry Walters visited in 1909, was famous for this style of jewelry. Our Egyptian Revival collection, featuring cabochons and beads, is inspired by a necklace that was made in the Castellani workshop. In ancient Egypt, blue stones were highly regarded as stones of celestial origin and as a symbol for truth. The original necklace was made with carved gemstone cabochons.
