Ancient Talisman Carnelian Necklace from The Met Museum
$98
Our modern pendant in 14K vermeil with carnelian recalls an ancient Egyptian shen clasp in The Met collection, which dates to about 1648-1540 B.C. To the ancient Egyptians, the shen symbol-a ring underscored by a horizontal line-suggested eternity and protection. For centuries, global cultures have crafted jewelry with protective charms that wearers believe will enhance their personal power.
