Egyptian Mummy Bead NecklaceSo, what are mummy beads? The official term is Egyptian faience. It\'s defined as a “material made from powdered quartz covered with a true vitreous coating, usually in a transparent blue or green\". The ancient Egyptians used this material to make just about everything. But the average person used it for making jewelry. Yes, some would be for the deceased but usually mummy bead jewelry was worn by the common man in every day settings.This is one of two Egyptian mummy bead necklaces that my mother owned. The other two are also listed for sale now. I\'m in the process of liquidating all of what remains of her jewelry. So make sure you take a look at the other pieces.Length: 20.5\"
