ORIGINAL CARNELIAN HEART AMULET (1570-1069 BC) · Often linked to the sun,
translucent carnelian was a common gemstone in dynastic Egypt. Two golden circles for pendant and clasp build a contemporary link with the original use of this heart amulet in Egyptian mythology: the circle as a symbol for continuity, as a symbol for life. Designed for any occasion, this necklace can be worn full opera length (80cm/32”) or as a double chain choker (40cm/16”), photographed here.
