I've preserved the original cost of the malachite and lapis lazuli gemstones in this
regal necklace, and the result is a true bargain! In today's prices, the cost of the
gemstones alone would be more than the asking price. Queen Tiy was the wife of the
pharaoh Amenhotep III and the mother of Akhenaten (who married Nefertiti and whose son is
Tutankhamun). She featured prominently in her husband's reign, regularly depicted next
to him in statues and reliefs, which was unusual for the times. Such strength
deserves a fitting tribute; lapis lazuli and malachite were beloved of ancient Egyptians
(think of Tutankhamun's funeral mask, Cleopatra's eye shadow and Egyptian tomb paintings).
Add gold to these complementary gemstones, and the result is a stunning necklace with
lasting style and beauty.
