The Stones That Told the Story of Ancient Egypt

To the ancient Egyptians, gemstones were more than beautiful stones. They were valued for their colors, rarity, durability, and symbolic meaning, and were used in jewelry, amulets, and funerary treasures.

Among their favorites were lapis lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, and amethyst — each adding color, beauty, and meaning to their creations.

At Konouz, we bring these ancient treasures closer to you with a selection of natural gemstones and minerals, including lapis lazuli, carnelian, turquoise, amethyst, agate, quartz, and more.

More than stones. A connection to Ancient Egypt.

What If Abu Simbel Had Disappeared?

What if one of Egypt’s greatest monuments had disappeared beneath the Nile?

Abu Simbel was never meant to stand where we see it today.

When the Aswan High Dam was being built, the rising waters of Lake Nasser threatened to submerge the temples of Abu Simbel forever.

Then something extraordinary happened.

An international effort led by UNESCO took on an almost impossible challenge: move an entire ancient temple.

Between 1964 and 1968, Abu Simbel was carefully cut into thousands of massive blocks, moved to higher ground, and reconstructed piece by piece — preserving the monumental legacy of Ramses II for generations to come.

And this is where our piece comes in.

Our handcrafted replica captures the iconic facade of the Great Temple of Abu Simbel, bringing a small piece of a monument that was almost lost into your home.

A monument that survived twice: once through the hands of the ancient Egyptians, and once through the ingenuity of the modern world.

Tutankhamun’s Golden Coffin

Among the greatest treasures discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamun is his extraordinary golden coffin.

Tutankhamun was buried inside three nested coffins, all placed within a massive quartzite sarcophagus. The innermost coffin is the most remarkable of the three — made of solid gold and weighing approximately 110.4 kg.

The coffin depicts the young king in the form of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife. He is shown wearing the royal nemes headdress, with the cobra and vulture protecting his forehead, while holding the traditional crook and flail. Its surface is richly decorated with inscriptions, symbols, and protective imagery, with colored glass and semi-precious stone inlays.

Inspired by this extraordinary masterpiece, our replica is gold-plated and richly adorned with gemstones, carefully crafted to recreate the beauty and intricate details of Tutankhamun’s legendary burial coffin.

A timeless piece inspired by one of the greatest treasures of Ancient Egypt.

Treasures of Tutankhamun

Among the remarkable treasures discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamun were exquisite jewelry and two ceremonial daggers, revealing the extraordinary craftsmanship of Ancient Egyptian artisans.

The king’s burial treasures included elaborate collars and pectorals decorated with gold, colored glass, and precious stones, combining beauty with powerful royal and religious symbolism.

The two daggers are particularly fascinating. One had a gold blade, while the other had an iron blade with a finely decorated gold handle and sheath. Scientific studies have shown that the iron blade was made from meteoritic iron, giving this ancient weapon a truly extraordinary story.

Our Replica

Inspired by these remarkable treasures, our replica set is gold-plated and richly decorated with gemstones, carefully crafted to capture the beauty and details of Tutankhamun’s original treasures.

A piece that brings the elegance and mystery of Ancient Egypt closer to you.

Tutankhamun’s Golden Mask

One of the most iconic masterpieces of Ancient Egypt, the golden funerary mask of King Tutankhamun was discovered in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1925.

Created during Egypt’s 18th Dynasty, the mask was placed over the king’s head and shoulders to protect him for the afterlife. It portrays Tutankhamun wearing the traditional royal nemes headdress, crowned with the cobra and vulture — symbols of royal power and protection.

The original mask is made primarily of gold and decorated with lapis lazuli, obsidian, quartz, glass, and other inlays. It stands about 54 cm high and weighs approximately 11 kg.

Our Replica

Crafted entirely by hand, our replica weighs 11 Kg and is made of genuine copper, plated with 24-karat gold, and adorned with precious gemstones.

A remarkable piece inspired by one of the greatest symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Small Temple of Abu Simbel

Beside the magnificent Great Temple of Ramses II stands a smaller temple, equally rich in beauty and history.

Built by Ramses II in honor of his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, and the goddess Hathor, the temple is famous for its remarkable façade featuring colossal statues of both Ramses II and Nefertari.

Though smaller in size, the temple tells a powerful story of love, royalty, and ancient Egyptian artistry.
