Many of today’s artisans that produce handcrafted bronze necklaces use Ancient Egyptian and Chinese inspirations. The Usekh collar of Ancient Egypt was a huge ornate collar worn by the nobility and draped in jewels and charms. The essence of the Usekh collar, the thick, confident size and the complete extravagance has inspired some impressive interpretations. Extravagant designs can be produced affordably with bronze, designs that would be far too expensive with other precious metals.

Bronze lends itself very well to ornate and intricate designs. Bronze has the unusual and desirable ability to expand slightly just before it is set. This means that bronze will fill every detail of the mold and the artisan can create more challenging and unique handcrafted bronze necklaces.

Bronze is less expensive than other precious metals, but this difference in price does not affect the quality. In fact bronze will actually preserve better than other precious metals. A patina forms on bronze that protects it from further corrosion, so when you buy a handcrafted bronze necklace, you can be sure your piece is going to be around for a very long time.
