After Egypt came under the rule of the Hellenistic Greeks (32327 B.C.), and later became a province of the Roman empire (after 27 B.C.), ancient Egyptian jewelry, with its characteristic forms, materials, and colors, nearly ceased to be manufactured. Jewelry was still made and worn in Egypt during the Greco-Roman period, but it was no longer distinctively Egyptian. Whereas the Egyptians had created their jewelry around amuletic shapes with symbolic meanings, Greco-Roman jewelry celebrated the rarity, value, and beauty of the materials used. Late in the Hellenistic period, emerald mines were discovered in the Red Sea hills of Egypt; in the Roman era, craftsmen especially favored the use of this stone. Our classic ring is based on an original ring in the Museums collection that is set with a cylindrical emerald found in Egypt and stylistically datable to the period of Roman rule during the 1st century A.D. 14K gold with 24K gold plate and emerald. Available in size 6, 7, or 8. See less
