All about Egypt

2022 is shaping up to be a big year for Egypt. Not only does it mark the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, but it will also see the debut of the long-delayed Grand Egyptian Museum, which is expected to open outside Cairo in November. Many jewelry designers have taken note as well; among them, São Paulo-based Silvia Furmanovich (silviafurmanovich .com), whose Egypt collection takes inspiration from the country’s rich heritage in a range that combines antique papyrus, colorful wood marquetry, gold, and hand-carved gemstones with ancient symbols such as scarabs, date palms, and the Eye of Horus.
