<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 289926, member: 5833&quot;]I laugh even harder at all the pieces I see described as &#039;Egyptian Revival&#039; that were actually made in Egypt in the 1960s.&nbsp; Someone should tell the Egyptians the good news; they probably didn&#039;t realize they needed reviving.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been skeptical about &#039;Bedouin&#039; bracelets with a full set of Egyptian marks for exactly your reason.&nbsp; Really couldn&#039;t imagine that most genuine ones ever see an assay office.&nbsp; But, when it comes to Egyptian-made jewelry that turns up for sale here, I see the same handful of recognizable styles that turn up endlessly.&nbsp; Have yet to see something that looked Egyptian but wasn&#039;t marked, nor anything marked that strayed radically from the traditional.&nbsp; What I have seen is jewelry, particularly bracelets, that look very much like Egyptian work but were made elsewhere.&nbsp; They always have their own characteristic features &amp; are nearly always unmarked.&nbsp; I could not pin down the one mark I have seen on such a piece, but it looked most like Turkish marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s all she wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
