There are some classic designs in jewelry that have been around for a long time. You will find this to be true in rings and necklaces that use the ankh symbol. This particular symbol has its roots in ancient Egypt and is commonly known as the symbol for life. It is a piece that is usually formed as a solid metal item and can be a pendant hung from a chain necklace or a charm used with a link bracelet. The various rings will have the symbol incorporated into the design of the band's surface so it is situated on the top of the piece.

Another symbol dating back to ancient Egypt is the eye of Horus. You will find this design used in some rings as well and is often sold in specialty stores that cater to young adults. The scarab is also a design used in creating uniquely crafted rings and may be found as a pendant on necklaces as well. When used as a pendant the scarab may have a colored surface using enamel as the finish. This coloring helps make the piece more decorative for use as a fashion accessory.

There are many beautiful bead necklaces that incorporate the colors associated with ancient Egyptian pieces. These colors are gold, blue and white and will also be found in styles of bead earrings. Earrings that use Egyptian styled cat images are popular items to wear as fashion accessories. The cat was a powerful symbol in ancient times and is captured in beautiful earring designs using gold and silver. The cat image is also available as a charm for necklaces and bracelets. You may find some styles of arm bands that use an Egyptian inspired design.
