Egyptians wore crowns, wigs, combs made of Ivory, jade, gold, or resin-ed papyrus. necklaces, earrings and amulets, charms ,and bracelets. Mostly rich Egyptians wore these. Men and women, like court officials, priestess, scribes, priests, archetects ,and hired mourners. women wore lotus jewelery because it was the jewel of the Nile and was said to be beloved of Isis and Thoth's wife, Maat. wearing jewelry was not only for women, the children did as well, like small gold-plated fish that mothers would put in the child's hair so that it could help protect them from drowning . even servants, farmers and fishers had jewelry, but they were mostly charms, the most common is the Wadjet eye, it is the eye of Re, the right eye was the sun and the left the moon.

Ancient Egyptians wore jewelry to enhance the beauty of the women and increase the stature of the men. The wealthier the person the more elaborate the jewelry worn.
They thought that rings and amulets could keep away evil sprits and prevent injury. Both men and women wore pierced earrings, armlets, bracelets, and anklets. Wealthy people wore jewelled or beaded collars, necklaces, and pendants of precious stone and metals. P.S. did you notice that black stuff Egyptian portraits have on their eyes? Well, they are called kohl and it also help Egyptians help fight eye infections and reduced the glare of the brilliant sun of Egypt.
