One of the most special and authentic keepsakes from travel anywhere in the world, cartouches are not only unique only to Egypt, but they have immense historic significance as well. In ancient times, this symbol was strictly reserved for encircling and highlighting the name of a pharaoh within hieroglyphic texts. A pharaoh’s name in a cartouche was also the very first hieroglyphic word ever translated by linguists in the early 1800s, which led to the deciphering of the hieroglyphic script and the ancient Egyptian language after it had been lost for over 15 centuries.
Today, expert Egyptian goldsmiths and silversmiths can create a custom piece of jewelery just for you in the form of this ancient symbol – the cartouche – with your name spelled out in the ancient Egyptian language using authentic hieroglyphs.
