First off, there is technically no participial phrase in the sentence currently, for participial phrases must be set off by commas. If commas were included at the appropriate places to indicate a participial phrase, though, the sentence would read, "Simple jewelry, left behind by ancient Egyptians, can be very valuable today." The participial phrase in this case is "left behind by ancient Egyptians," because it modifies the subject (jewelry), is set off by commas, and is not a sentence in itself.

A phrase is a group of words, usually successive words, in a sentence that together fill a grammatical or part of speech function that could in principle be substituted by a single word, but do not constitute a clause, which must have a subject and an active verb form, as contrasted to a verbal. The most common phrases are probably prepositional phrases, which contain a preposition and the object of that preposition, and may contain additional modifiers. Consider the following simple sentence: "She left quickly." Without changing the meaning of the sentence, the adverb "quickly" could be replaced by an adverbial prepositional phrase, "in a hurry", where "in" is the preposition, "hurry" is the object of the preposition, and "a" is an article modifying "hurry". Other common phrases are: - proper names with more than one word, such as "John Quincy Adams" or "Pope John Paul II" where the phrase denotes a single person and the words together function as a single noun in a sentence; - verbal (participial, gerundive, or infinitive) phrases, such as "Having been away for many years, I did not recognize my home town", in which all the words "Having been away for many years" together constitute a participial phrase that functions as an adjective modifying "I" (note also the internal prepositional phrase, "for many years", which is part of the participial phrase as well as constituting a separate phrase itself); and - compound verbs such as "shall be going" in the sentence "I shall be going tomorrow."
