Friday Finds: Ancient Egypt
March 22, 2013
In celebration of the Spring Equinox, take a que from fashion icons Liz Tyler and Theda Bara and indulge your inner Isis with our round up of Egyptian-inspired jewelry. 3D printing has caused something of a new Egyptian Revival at the Factory of the Future, from entangled serpents to evocative amulets. Here are a few of our favorites.
The eye of Horus, the Ancient Sky God, is a common charm to ward against negativity while providing clarity of vision.

Ever since Scarab charms where found in the tombs of Ancient Egypt, they have captured the popular imagination as a symbol of transformation. Anybody see Guillermo del Toro’s Chronos? Anybody?
I’m wearing this ring as I write this, and I love it. The stainless steel serpent coils snugly around the finger. Reminiscent of self-terminating snake Ouroborus, this design will garner you compliment after compliment.
