I remember visiting museums in Cairo and other places in India and some of the beautiful jewlry that was in display there made of wooden beads , metal etc is now being copied and revived by fashion jewellers now. Will try to post a picture here of the two ..the ancient and the modern

The similarities between the antique jewelry and that of fashion jewelry shows the influence that is there ..

Lovely pics @Usha.

This reminds be of the saying -"Nothing is original, every thing has an inspiration. You hide the source of inspiration and you become a genius"

Absolutely ! The intricate bead and metal necklace of the Indus valley times is my favorite. So beautifully crafted that it inspires the jewelers to this day I am told..
