Ancient Egyptian Jewellery Symbols

Jewellery has always been a fascination, especially when it involves ancient signs and symbols. Egyptian jewellery is popular all over the world because of its magical quality and the mysteries that it holds. Ancient Egyptian jewellery symbols include the Scarab, ankh, the eye of Horus, pyramids, the healing sign, and Temple Gate. Many other ancient signs are also popular which are still considered powerful and sacred by some people.

You will see the Egyptian ankh key symbol in a number of Egyptian jewellery articles. Rings and pendants shaped like a key are also worn as protective items. The red crown and the Scarab are also common symbols used in ancient Egyptian pendants and other jewellery articles. According to some people the ankh represents time without end and immortality. These jewellery articles are made from pure solid gold.

The Royal Lotus is one of the well-known ancient Egyptian jewellery symbols. Bangles, bracelets and necklaces can be found with this sign along with
 
other popular symbols like winged scarab, Sun face, and cobra snake. Some people think these symbols represent some kind of hidden plan or magic formula to control the minds of people. However, many people across the globe like wearing antique jewellery which also looks stylish and modern.

Some other worth-mentioning symbols of ancient Egypt include the Phoenix, Papyrus, Mountain, Knot of Isis, Gold, Baboon, and Akh. These signs represent different interesting concepts related to life and the universe, like soul, stability, truth, beauty, water, sun, power, and afterlife.

The symbols of Ancient Egyptian jewellery also tell ancient stories from Egypt, such as the Seven Year Famine, the Prince and the Sphinx, the Golden Lotus, the Greek Princess, the Land of the Dead, and many more. Today we can find these stories in cartoons, movies and comics. There are many mysteries surrounding the building of pyramids and many other ancient happenings that took place in Egypt thousands of years ago and therefore the jewellery from Egypt is inexplicable and fascinating.
