as far as the wealthy egyptians,i would say yes,as they were very much into their appearances. The ancient Egyptians decorated their usually plain clothing with elaborate costume jewelry.Both men and women wore jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, and beaded necklaces. Wealthy nobles had jewelry made of gold, silver, or precious stones. Their colorful jewelry stood out against the white linen clothing that they wore. They incorporated many minerals into their jewelry including amethyst, garnet, jasper, onyx, turquoise, and lapis lazuli, as well as copper, gold, and shells.
