Summer sale and new website

Hope you are all enjoying the summer. I know I am.
We have been having a bit of a change around recently and also been very busy. Hence the lack of blog posting (Sorry) We have moved all our micro macrame jewelry to a brand new site where we have listed all the items in US dollars instead of UK sterling. We find this to be more suitable to the majority of our clients so we decided to go with the flow. We also still provide world wide shipping for a flat fee of just $4.99 So please feel come along and take a look. Our new site can be found here. Micro Macrame Jewelry

Also to celebrate we are now holding a grand summer sale on our Egyptian Jewelry website.  Feel free to use coupon code summer thiswill give you a 25% discount on all orders.

New Website

We have finally got round to upgraded our Egyptian jewellery website. The new site is much more user friendly and so much quicker. All products now have individual pages and the new site also allows me to use discount promotional codes. We have been spending a lot of time recently on our sea glass jewelry site that the Egyptian one was becoming a little outdated and unloved.

So please feel free to have a browse around and let us know what you think of the new website. Also feel free to use the new discount code "new" to obtain a 15% discount on any order. Coupon expires 31st October 2014. This offer also includes all our sale items and micro macrame jewelry too.

Bast Bracelets

Bast was the Egyptian goddess of  protection and evil spirits. Daughter of Ra she was represented as a cat although originally portrayed as a lioness.

I spotted some awesome silver plated charms the other day and just couldn't resist  making these into Egyptian style Bast bracelets. Not only do they feature Bast or Bastet as she is sometimes known they also feature and Ankh too which is commonly known as the symbol of long life.

These bracelet are on waxed cords in either brown or turquoise. Hope you enjoy them.

Chenoa Ellinghaus

I would like to introduce you to Chenoa Ellinghaus. Chenoa is a fellow colleague on Etsy that shares the same passion as my self in ancient times gone by. I will let Chenoa tell you more.

Temples, sun, sand, and mummies are some of the first images that spring to mind when thinking about ancient Egypt. In the early 20th century the mysteries surrounding this vibrant culture inspired explorers and cheap horror fiction. For all of the emphasis on death, the Egyptians where focused on the beauty of life, particularly the continuance of it.

Life is what I bring to my art and my jewelry. The deities of ancient Egypt are often miss represented, Anubis as an example is seen as a sadistic lord of the dead. This is far from the truth, for he what is called a “cool spirit,” a god that is calm and relatively neutral except when he protects and preserves the soul for its journey to the afterlife. To the best of my ability, through extensive research I accurately imbue each deity portrait with the meaning, iconography, and expression as perceived by the ancient Egyptians.

This holiday season my new line of sterling silver necklaces will be available in my etsy shop ChenoaEllinghaus. The eight deities that are currently included in my collection are Anubis, Bastet, Set, Horus, Nekhbet, Wepwawet, Hathor, and Thoth.

Here is some of Chenoas work. I am  sure you will agree it is amazing!!

Anubis Necklace

Anubis is probably one of the best known ancient Egyptian gods. Known as the god of the underworld, god of the dead. Associated with mummification and the protection of the dead and their journey to the afterlife.

I have been waiting for some time to find a suitable charm to portray him and I think that bronze does him good justice. Suitable for a lady or gentleman on an 18 inch matching bronze chain.

 This necklace can be purchased from my Etsy shop here.
