Kallos Fine Jewellery Women's Gold / Green Feldspar Palette Gold Pendant
Description
Egyptian, Late Dynastic Period, circa 730 - 332 BC. A beautifully delicate ancient Egyptian feldspar amulet in the form of a scribe’s writing tablet. Set in a bespoke and handmade modern 18 carat gold pendant. Egyptian amulets were believed to possess positive properties that could be magically bestowed upon the owner. This magical power could be derived from several elements of the amulet: the material, colour, shape, decoration, and the object that the amulet was intended to represent. Amulets could be worn with other pieces of jewellery or sewn into clothes. Feldspar, mined in the Libyan desert, was a prized and popular stone used to make jewellery and amulets in ancient Egypt. Turquoise or light blue-green stones symbolised vegetation and fertility. These are rare and unique ancient miniature artworks, whilst they are designed to be worn we suggest avoiding contact with cosmetics, perfumes, chlorine, and chemicals. Clean with warm water and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. When not in use, keep your jewellery in its box to protect it from dust and other debris.
