There is nothing more glamorous than an Egyptian inspired statement necklace. When you are as talented as Doro Soucy, the results are definitely a big WOW! Her Egyptian vulture necklace below is simply amazing. It was inspired by, get this - Tutankhamun's vulture necklace AND Fabergé eggs!

Doro was born and raised in the historic city of Bratislava in Slovakia but now calls Dallas, Texas home. Her Etsy store, Lux Vivens Fashion, is filled with outstanding bead embroidered jewelry. Her designs clearly show her love and appreciation of history and different cultures.

Her powers of observation and attention to detail are acute. The Egyptian Goddess necklace above was inspired by the designs in Tutankamun's ceremonial chair. The scarab focal is a beautiful dark blue chrysocolla stone surrounded by other gemstones. The distinctive grey of labradorite gemstones form the wings. Her other amazing scarab necklace (below) was inspired by Tutakhamun's pectoral piece.

Her Egyptian earrings are no less stunning!

Her design abilities were cultivated when she was young. Doro said, " As a girl I spent a lot of time at my mother’s work in the Bratislava Castle wandering around the exhibits after hours, fantasizing and developing my artistic imagination."
