Vintage gold ring with lapis lazuli, 14 kt

Egyptomania! This incredible vintage ring, a treasure in gold and lapis lazuli, evokes ancient Egypt and almost certainly dates from the 1970s, during the third Egyptian revival. Egyptian revival Jewellery is inspired by the culture and architecture of ancient Egypt and has existed since the 1800s, when Napoleon invaded Egypt and ignited the first craze for everything Egyptian.

Jewelers such as Cartier and Castellani created Egyptian-themed pieces for fashionable European circles. When archaeologist Howard Carter found the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, Egyptomania exploded and leading jewelers, including Cartier and Tiffany, once again produced stunning Egyptian-influenced pieces that were all the rage during the Art Deco period.

The third Egyptian revival took place between 1972 and 1981, when treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb were displayed in a traveling exhibition around the world and drew millions of visitors. Both costume jewelers and goldsmiths created Egyptian-inspired Jewellery, like this example.
