Ancient Egyptian Jewelry - Five Facts You Didn't Know About Egyp
We all know a lot when it comes to the jewelry piece. We know the designer of the jewelry, its name, its materials and the like. What we don't know is why that certain piece of jewelry is made, what it means or what was its purpose. There have been evidences that suggest that Egyptian jewelries have certain purposes and meaning and here are the 5 facts you didn't know about Egyptian Jewelry:
Fact 1: Jewelry has a Purpose
Egyptians wear jewelry for a lot of reasons but the main reason was to protect them from any hostile forces. It is believed that certain jewelries can help prevent evil spirits from taking over someone else's body in a form such as a curse disease or sickness. Even today we wear some jewelry that should bring us good luck or prevent us from harm like the rabbit's foot, tiger's eye, and tear drop crystal. The only difference today from the ancient Egyptians that instead of precious jewels like ruby or diamond, they used well-crafted stones like the turquoise and Lapis Lazuli which is in fact the most precious material to them.
Fact 2: Gold is Not Just a Symbol of Wealth
To us today, gold only means one thing and this is wealth. The Egyptians however have a different meaning for using gold in their jewelries. Gold is a representation of the fire and the glory of the sun, flesh of the Gods and the most important of all, the eternal sense of being.
Fact 3: Shells are used As Jewelries
The use of shells today as a form of jewelries is not that common. For Egyptians, the use of shells such as the cowrie shell protects them from the Evil Eye. It is also believed to keep them safe from any harm and thus some women wear it around their pelvic area to avoid the chance of aborting a child.
Fact 4: Scarab Beetles
Some of the Egyptians' jewelry has a scarab beetle designed on it. It represents the Sun God Ra whom people worship regardless of their class in the society. It was also believed that Ra was the one who created man using his tears.
Fact 5: Jewelry Symbols Are Not Just For Design
We always see jewelries with breathtaking symbols but are not really sure why the symbol is there. Egyptian jewelries use symbols to represent the religion. The symbols often used are animals, magical signs and Gods. They also believed that by wearing something that has a symbol that represents the Gods can protect them from all the evil spirits.
