Utilizing Geometric Developments to Create Innovative Metal Beads as Complements to Jewelry Inspired by Egyptian Civilization

The research introduces a new technique utilizing geometric developments to create metal beads inspired by ancient Egyptian civilization. This method transforms three-dimensional shapes into two-dimensional surfaces, enabling the design of innovative, cost-effective, and precise metal beads. It particularly focuses on using geometric unfolding of a cylinder to form unique bead shapes through cutouts in copper sheets, which, once reassembled, produce varied bead designs that complement ancient Egyptian-inspired jewelry.

The study also aims to revive ancient Egyptian heritage in a modern form that appeals to contemporary tastes. It presents opportunities for young entrepreneurs to start small businesses focused on producing and selling metal jewelry, opening new avenues in the job market and boosting their income. Additionally, the research supports the local economy by promoting handcrafted industries inspired by Egyptian heritage, with the potential to attract local and international interest, leading to export opportunities and increased national income.

The results highlight that geometric unfolding techniques in metal bead design allow for the creation of innovative jewelry, making it ideal for young designers entering the jewelry-making industry. The findings also show that this method significantly reduces production costs by minimizing raw material consumption, improving production speed, and eliminating waste, ensuring the sustainability and broad application of these traditional crafts.
