Ancient Egyptian Gold-plated Bead bracelet - Key to life/Faenza

Protector amulet, a life symbol in faience, combined with beads of white coral, glass and Ancient Egyptian faience. They are paired with modern beads with 18Kt gold plating and set on thread with a magnetic clasp, all gold-plated in 18Kt. Bead in the shape of a central cross associated with the Ankh, known as the Egyptian cross or key of life. This symbol represents life, immortality and the breath of life. In Ancient Egypt it was frequently used as a protective talisman for both the living and the dead, ensuring health, vitality or a successful passage to life after death. This piece is made in Egyptian faience; this material was not only an aesthetic choice but carried a deep semantic meaning. It was associated with the Nile, vegetation, fertility, rebirth and renewal. In this way, this amulet doubles its lucky symbolism: on one hand “life” by its shape, and on the other “rebirth/eternity” by its color. A piece of jewelry full of symbolism and history that endures, despite time, for all eternity. An elegant way to combine the classical world with the modern world. Shipped with a legal declarations sheet. Customs duties for shipments outside the EU will be borne by the auction winner.
