Cat Bastet Earrings, Egyptian Hieroglyph Czech Glass Handmade Jewelry

The "Bastet" handmade earrings were created from orange opal Czech glass beads with a cat hieroglyph on each side and turquoise tri-cut Czech glass beads - jewelry for the cat lover.

Named after the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, the BASTET handmade earrings are a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves the beauty and grace of the lovely felines. The one of a kind earrings feature glowing orange Czech glass cat beads, turquoise Czech glass tri-cut beads, copper and sterling silver earwires. The unique oval cat beads are a rich orange opal color that are translucent and absolutely glow in the light. Each side has a pressed, recessed hieroglyph image of a seated, wise looking cat. To bring out the incredible details of the cats and to add an aged look, a bronze Picasso finish was added to the beads. The bronze wash settled into the recessed areas highlighting the hieroglyphs. Lightweight to wear, the earrings look perfect from every angle since the beads are two-sided.  To complement the orange opal glass, a turquoise tricut Czech glass beads was added to the top and bottom of the cat beads. The The tri-cut beds are round but have three facets (hence “tri-cut”) to add subtle sparkle. The turquoise beads also have a Picasso finish, a rich earthy brown, scattered here and there on the beads.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BASTET hieroglyph earrings were created for the woman who loves cats, Egyptian symbolism and unique artisan jewelry.

Egyptian Ankh Statement Necklace

with Eye of Horus Life Symbol Amulet

This ankh necklace with Eye of Horus amulet would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves boho or tribal styling as well as meaningful jewelry with historical links. The ankh is an ancient symbol that stands for eternal life. Here it is used as a creative base for several Egyptian hieroglyphics, which are shown in relief on the front of the pendant and as etchings on the back. I've included close-ups of both sides among my shop listing's photographs. Central among those hieroglyphics is the Eye of Horus, which is featured on the amulet's front and shown in smaller form on the back. It symbolizes good health, protection, and royal power and represents the goddess Wadjet.

Meaningful, with ancient symbols, an inspirational depth, and tribal and boho elements, this ankh beaded necklace was handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It is a piece that men would enjoy wearing as well as women, and that brings a positive message to all. It will arrive in an eco-friendly kraft-style box, wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

 

  

About the Ankh Symbol

The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol for eternal life, and it is a common element in the art of Egypt during the time of the pharaohs. It is also found on amulets from that historical period. This symbol appears in some ancient Mediterranean cultures as well. For example, in ancient Cyprus, ankhs appeared on coins and were used as a symbol for copper. The ankh enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and is still popular today. It is a highly meaningful and positive element as well as an attractive shape in itself.
