Egyptian Jewelry Silver Scarab inside Cartouche

The Egyptian Jewelry Silver Scarab inside Cartouche pendant is a beautiful addition to your unique collection. The scarab was a popular design for good luck charms in ancient Egypt, for seals used to stamp documents, and for jewelry made from clay or precious gems. Some had inscriptions, like the owners name or a brief message such as “congratulations on your new child”. The scarab also symbolized the restoration of life. It is also a symbol of transformation and spontaneous creation in Ancient Egypt.

Furthermore the rich colors used in the scarab design had meanings. Red signified the god, Ra. Blue symbolized the Nile.

Cartouche is actually a French word meaning ‘gun cartridge’. When Napoleon’s soldiers were in Egypt, they nicknamed the oval shape surrounding the king names with that word because it reminded them of the shape of their gun cartridges, or bullets. At the time, people could not read hieroglyphic writing, it became so commonly used that it has remained the standard name for the shape around the name of an Egyptian pharaoh or queen.
