Women’s Bracelet in Indigo “Croc Teeth” and Pearl Grey Faience - Em Hotep Collection
$195.00
These Indigo Blue beads are fashioned after crocodile teeth; a shape found in many ancient Egyptian jewelry pieces. The deep translucent blues set of a striking contrast the calm sand tones. This color combination is ubiquitous among the motifs in ancient Egypt.
I entirely handcraft all of my jewelry and kiln-fire all my Egyptian faience beads. The techniques and artistry I practice are exactly those which were practiced by the magnificent artisans serving the Pharaohs and Queens of ancient Egypt. The sintered-quartz ceramic I make is made from the exact same minerals the Egyptians drew from the sands of their deserts and the silts of the Nile.
This women's bracelet is from my “em hotep” collection. “Em hotep” was a common Egyptian phrase one used to wish a friend or loved one peace and happiness.
This bracelet is strung on a stretchy cord made of durable elastic silicone and slips easily on and off the wrist. The bracelet is 7 inches in circumference; a standard size for women. Please contact me if you would like a custom size made.
