Together with the linear construction, silver bead details and strong symmetry, they give the piece a beautiful Art Deco and Egyptian Revival character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEgyptian Revival jewellery became particularly fashionable during the early 20th century, especially following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, when Egyptian-inspired forms, colours and motifs became enormously influential in Western decorative arts. While this piece is not from that period, its combination of deep blue lapis, black onyx, geometric silverwork and wing-like forms strongly recalls that aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stones also have long histories of their own. Lapis lazuli has been treasured since antiquity and was particularly prized in ancient Egypt, where its intense blue colour was associated with the heavens and divine power. Onyx has traditionally been associated with protection, strength and grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.8g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\" length (including bail), 1.1\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStamped '\u003cstrong\u003e925\u003c\/strong\u003e'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a vintage item with some signs of wear but in excellent condition.
