The fascination with Egyptian inspired jewelry is not something new in the world of fashion. For centuries both men and women have been enraptured with Egyptian jewelry especially since the discovery of King Tut's tomb.

In ancient times, both men and women wore jewelry not merely for its beauty but as an expression of their depth of personal meaning and the powers of protection believed to be afforded to the wearer. Various colors, designs and stones were used to differentiate between various levels of belief. Symbols of the Goddess Isis were worn for protection. Symbols depicting the Sun God Ra were worn to express the individual's belief in his or her divine connection to Ra.

One item of jewelry often seen today is the 'scarab' whether in the form of a pendant, amulet signified belief in life and the resurrection. Wearing the symbol was believed regarded giving one a strong-hold on luck and long life. Another symbol often seen today is 'Horus' who was an ancient Egyptian warrior. The wearing of this symbol speaks of strength and steadfastness in times of trouble.

Two other popular Egyptian inspired symbols for jewelry are 'Ankh' and 'Best'. Wearing the symbol of best is believed to protect one from all manner of illness and disease. This symbol is also believed to have the power of protection from all forces of evil coming against the wearer at any time.
