These are bracelets with sober and original shapes. The pearls, whose colours alternate with harmonious balance, are joined together with different solutions; the first in gold and turquoise is made up of 27 small plates in the shape of a falcon, symbol of the god Horus, perched on the serekh, the design of the floor plan and façade of the royal palace; the second bracelet in gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, is composed of three strands of pearls divided into three sections; the third is composed of 13 gold hourglass beads, lozenge-shaped turquoise beads; the fourth bracelet has a rosette with gold petals in the centre, then turquoise beads, lapis lazuli beads.
