During the Badari and Naqada eras ancient Egyptian ornaments were made from simple natural materials; including, plant branches, shells, beads, solid stones or bones. Threads of flax or cow hair were often used to string together necklaces and amulets. Glass substances were used to paint stones in order to give jewellery brilliance.
