Silver Jewelry: Egyptian themes
Related Jewelry Articles
Silver jewelry hand crafted by artisans in Egypt is very interesting in the style and cultural icons that are commonly used. Bracelets, rings, cartouche, key chains, and pendants are some items that use Egyptian icons as themes.
Several items can be personalized using English, Arabic, or Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs are the ancient Egyptian picture language used primarily by the Royalty and the priest class. The Arabic used is a beautiful flowing form.
Ancient Royalty is a favorite theme for hand crafted jewelry. For example, images of King Tut and Nefertiti. Another favorite are the ancient gods such as Isis and the Eye of Horus.
Other images used are items such as the pyramids, the ankh, musicians, and the scarab beetle. Ankh are symbols of life, power, and wealth.
A very popular form, that is purely personalized, are cartouche. Cartouche are symbols, a seal of state, or a personal chop. It is typically an elongated oval shape containing the person’s name (such as a pharaoh like Tut) in Hieroglyphics. These silver cartouche are a clever and exotic personal seal worn on a sterling silver chain around one’s neck, and is a handsome art object.
