Handmade Silver El Gahzeyya Pendant

One of our very special pieces is Handmade Silver El Gahzeyya Pendant. This is considered almost the smallest handmade sterling silver marionette pendant. This amazing piece of art is also one of the characters in the famous Egyptian folkloric operetta “EL LELAH EL KEBERA”. This is the belly dancer. It Is attached to an individual silver marionette stick. Fixed for motion by sterling silver chains, all platinum plated for perfection.

In the jewelry making in Egypt you may find the reflection of her age-long history. Egypt, the cradle of civilization, is also the cradle of the arts and the home of craftsmanship. The race that wrought the glorious monuments of Pharaonic and Islamic architecture is no less remarkable in the skill it brings by craftsmen nowadays.

In the realm of jewelry making there is no such hiatus, no such break. Just as the Egyptian craftsmen in the fields today uses the same tools and devices as those used by his forerunners hundreds of centuries ago, even so does the craftsman of the twentieth century follow methods and traditions which his distant ancestors would recognize and understand. Skill in execution has waned and waxed during the long course of Egyptian history but methods, perfectly or imperfectly applied, have changed very little.

Like all our other exquisite jewelry, this pendant is handcrafted, and highly detailed by our talented craftsmen. It is also top quality and made to last a lifetime. Furthermore it bears the 925 silver stamp for authenticity purposes.

Dimensions:  7 cm length x 3.5 cm wide
