Egyptian Jewelry

Egyptian jewelry, be elegant and spiritual! It will take us ages to talk and Egypt`s culture, politics and development among ancient civilizations. Each every something new, something outstanding is being discovered among ruins and sands of Egypt. If you analyze Egyptian jewelry, at first glance, we can observe they reproduce gods’ figures, mythical symbols or sacral texts.

Maybe the most known Egyptian jewel is the Ankh, so called key of life, symbolizing the mother goddess Isis. Some of us regard the Ankh as a strange cross, but in Egyptian tradition it has a different meaning, the Ankh is a key to life, power and leadership. Having an Ankh with her, Isis managed to bring to life his hacked husband, Osiris; he gave power to her son, Horus, to lead over Egypt, by handing him an Ankh. The Ankh is just one example, every Egyptian jewel has a story behind, which often isn’t known.

Any of Egyptian jewels will surely make you look like Nefertiti or Cleopatra, the symbols of powerful Egyptian woman, feminine, but still cold as ice in front of men. If you are a fan of Egypt, you will probably want to have as home décor a golden or silver souvenir. Written hieroglyphs cartouches are the perfect choice, handcrafted and adorned with precious materials they will impress your visitors.

A silver cartouche will cost you just 40$, while a golden over 150$. Small cartouches written with prayers to certain gods can be used as pendants. One blue silver Anubis cartouche (about 50$) will make everyone curious to know the message hanged on your chain.

The common scarab has a powerful meaning in Egypt, it`s associated with mighty god of all gods, Atum. If you were a scarab, you spread an unspoken message of power, willing to create and balance your inner universe. Egyptian scarab jewels are usually adorned with blue gemstones to remind people of sky, the birthplace of Atum. You can have a  18 K scarab ring (about 275$), a gold scarab earrings (about 180$) or a rolling gold scarab pendant (about 230$).

Egyptians generally used gold, which represents the solar gods Atum and Ra, in their jewelry, very fewer jewels were made of silver, when the owner was too poor to afford a golden one.

Silver Ankhs pendants are the cheapest and well sold Egyptian jewels, about 30$, but their price can vertiginous-ly rise, if they are made of high quality gold (about 325$). “The Eye”, meaning the eye of Horus is present on the majority of Egyptian jewelry. It`s a symbol of protection and prevention, the eye of the powerful god, son of Isis, will protect any creature from being cheated or betrayed, knowing that he was betrayed by his uncle, Seth.

Egyptian women loved to adorn themselves with gold from head to heals, from their elegancy we have borrowed Bedouin chandelier earrings, almost touching your shoulders with their heavy golden ornaments and big golden bracelets which gently wrapped in gold the joint of hand.
