Anck Su Namun Jewellery Collection

Many of you that have been following my blog already know I created my first Anck Su Namun bracelet a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have gone on to make three more. Slightly different in design as these are all stretch bracelets and will fit any wrist and as these bracelets look best when worn fitted I thought the next step was to make them all a little more snug to the wrist.

I have made one in bronze. One in black and another in a combination of traditonal Egyptian turquoise, white and bronze colours. I have also gone on to put them all together in their own collection and called them the Ank Su Namun Jewellery Collection. Full details of these bracelets can be found on a special page on my website.

Anck Su Namun Patricia Velásquez

Patricia Velásquez was probaby best known for her role as Anck Su Namun in the Film The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Who could forget her outstanding beauty and the hours it took to paint her fabulous costume. Both of these films and Patricias role in the film helped give me some of the inspiration to create my own jewellery. I can just imagine  Anck Su Namun wearing a lot of my pieces in the film. Can you? I really hope you can.

I am also honoured to say that Patricia is a fan on my facebook page too. Ok I did ask her but she obliged without question. Thanks Patricia. xx

So what is Patricia doing now. Not only is she she a super model but a succesful actress and  worked in many other films and TV production including  “Le Jaguar”, “Zapata”, “Mindhunters”, “Fidel”, “Committed”, “CSI: Miami”, “Arrested Development”, “Rescue Me”, “Ed” and “American Family”,

Most recently she created the Wayúu Tayá Foundation a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the Wayúu, a Venezuelan indigenous group.

 In 2010, after the devastating Haiti earthquake, she had the Wayuú Tayá Foundation commission a special symbol of hope to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake along with the slogan: Keep the "H" Close to Your Heart - Help Haiti Hope.

Also to help raise funds the foundation has a gift shop which sells I am happy to add handmade goods including Susu woven bags The bags are hand-made by Wayuú indigenous women at Shukumajaya, the foundation's women center that helps educate women on parenting and nutrition, family planning and hygiene. All bag items are one-of-kind, unless noted in the description.

Please take a moment to have a look at the site and see the amazing work this foundation does.

The Bracelet of Anubis

Who hasn't heard of "The Bracelet of Anubis"? If you haven't then you haven't watched the films The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.

The bracelet of Anubis was worn by the Scorpion King and later to be used to summon the army of Anubis. Later Alex the son of Evie and Rick O'Connell wore the bracelet for most of the film.

"From the minute I put the bracelet on, seven days do I have before the Scorpion King wakes up.
Did you also hear that if you do not enter the pyramid before the sun strikes it on that very morning, that the bracelet will suck the life out of you?"
Imhotep to Alex O'Connell about the bracelet.

This bracelet and many many more of the scenes in this film gave me the inspiration to create my own Egyptian jewellery.

Many ask is this bracelet real? Sadly the answer to that as far as I know is no. However............. it may have not been real in Ancient Egyptian times but it is real today. Sorry I can not take credit for such a creation as this, but a beautiful replica has been created by Toni Stelter.

Here are pictures of her work. The pictures speak for themselves and show the huge amount of talent it must have taken to create this masterpiece. I indeed would be very proud of myself should I have been its creator.

"This bracelet is 6.25" front to back, 9.5" across while in the open position as pictured above."

The attention to detail is outstanding.

Please take time to visit this artisans website to view more of thier work. You won't be dissapointed.
