The golden Usekh collar was a popular style of necklace in Ancient Egypt, worn by nobility as early as 2600 BC. One of the most famous examples can be seen on the famous gold mask of Tutankhamun. Crafted from gold and adorned with red carnelian, blue turquoise, and coloured glass, these beautiful accessories were truly fit for royalty!
