The bracelet is said to have been worn by Pharaoh Amenemope of the 21st Dynasty, who ruled Egypt from 1001 to 992 BC.
His tomb was discovered in 1940 by French Egyptologists Pierre Monte and Georges Employment.
The missing bracelet is embedded with a dark blue gem 'lapis Lazuli', which is believed to have been preferred by ancient Egyptian royalty.
Egyptian authorities are distributing images of artifacts to relics crackdown departments at airports and border checkpoints to prepare for the possibility of smuggling them abroad.
Under international regulations, the illegal export of ancient artifacts is considered a serious crime.
