Spectacular Egyptian Beaded Collar Necklace Tutorial

The Ancient Egyptians were masters of the layered collar necklaces. The spectacular designs were usually worn by the royals and high ranking individuals. The style is still popular today This tutorial for "The Prince's Necklace " is by Antoniraj over on Instructables.


It is not difficult to make - just lots and lots of wire wrapping beaded head pins!  The collar does not appear to sit flat on the collar bone as wire was used to to create the horizontal support. You could switch out to beading wire support if preferred.  Also instead of using beaded head pins, you could use beading wire and crimp beads for the verticals.

The designer could not find a scarab so a bright blue crystal was used instead.

Check out the links below for outstanding designers who rock this style!

Modern Bead Embroidered Statement Necklaces by RasaVil Jewelry

It is really refreshing to come across a talente bead embroidery artist who is prepared to do something different. Lithuanian Rasa VilĨinskaitÄ— of RasaVil Jewelry on Etsy has a modern take on traditional bead embroidered.  Her bead embroidered statement necklaces are outstanding and look stunning when teamed with neutral colored outfits. Some even look like they are part of the dress.



She does use some popular shapes but she also creates some innovative shapes.  Many of her designs are geometric and perhaps even architectural in some respects.  Rasa is an artist which is evident with her strong sense of color and patterns.


Bead embroidery is clearly her passion.  She prefers to make one of a kind pieces but buckles when people do ask her to recreate a design they like!  Two of her necklaces have appeared in an Italian exhibition.



She also makes bead embroidered anklets and her head pieces are popular too.
