Our Egyptian Jewelry and cartouche designs are all handmade in our Jewelry workshop. We take pride of our Egyptian handmade perfume Glass bottles and Christmas Ornaments designs.Modern Egyptian jewelry is similar to the ancient jewelry styles. Possibly the most popular piece of modern Egyptian jewelry is the Cartouche. The word ‘Cartouche’ is derived from a French word meaning 'gun cartridge'. First found by Napoleon's soldiers, these oval shaped etchings were termed so because they were similar to gun cartridges, or bullets. Personalized versions of these can be made by inscribing one’s name or chosen English or Arabic hieroglyphics on it. Some other examples of modern Egyptian jewelry include Cartouches, These jewels are made of gold, silver, platinum and imitation metals.The Egyptian craftsmen used these enormous amounts of gold in many and varied ways - to gild lesser materials, to plate wood and stone, solid casting it into small statuary, hammering and cutting sheets of it into elements of religious and ceremonial furniture and funerary equipment. However, its most widespread use was in the production of jewelry, both that worn by the living and, in particular, that made expressly for the adornment of the corpse. Egyptian funerary beliefs required that the mummified body be bedecked with the finest products of the jewelry- maker's art and, whether for amulet or collar, pectoral or diadem, the first choice of material, indeed the prescribed material according to some of the funerary texts, was gold.Explore the true Egyptian treasures and have it delivered to your door.
