Our Jewellery range includes two significant ancient Egyptian symbols: The Ankh - The symbolic representation of both Physical and Eternal life.

All our Jewellery items are hand made by Egyptian craftsmen employing traditional methods wherever possible.
These framed tiles incorporate a design copied from a painted limestone bust of Queen Nefertiti which dates back to about 1350 BC and is now in the Staatliche Museum in Berlin. Queen Nefertiti ruled along side her husband Akhenaton and was known as the "Egypt Sun Queen".

We felt we could not leave out from our web site some of the more traditional Egyptian Collectibles, which is why we have included a small but fine collection of Egyptian Figurines. This range includes; a bust of Queen Nefertiti, two reproductions of the mask of Tutankhamun, a statue of the Goddess Bast, the goddess of sunrise, pleasure, music, dance fertility and the family, plus a reproduction of the head of Queen Nefertiti's daughter.
Our framed papyrus has been hand painted by an Egyptian artist, copying scenes found on papyri in recently excavated ancient Egyptian tombs.

A range of fine ceramic-ware made by artisans in the Samir el Guindi Art Studio in Cairo. This studio is famous in Egypt for the Egyptian ceramic artists who work there, producing both traditional and contempory designs in fine ceramic-ware. Every item is individually hand made using a traditional potters wheel. The glazing is characteristic of this studio and each piece is individually hand-glazed. The glazes do not contain lead and therefore these pieces are safe for use with food.
Many Egyptians still use traditional unglazed clay pots for storing water, olives, milk and even cooking. We offer a range of small items that are the genuine article and have been made for use by the local people. They are all made in Fayoum, an agricultural area some 130 kilometres south of Cairo. Fayoum is famous for producing this style of earthenware. Each hand-made piece is biscuit fired and therefore porous and would not be frost-proof.
Bokla - A rounded pot used for cooking in rural areas of Egypt Mehlaba - This black pot is used today for storing olives or milk Ooulaa - A drinking bottle that is still widely used even in Cairo. The porous nature of the clay ensures that the contents remain very cold even in the hot climate of Egypt.
Each item in the Egyptian Collectibles collection is individually packaged and is supplied with a Certificate Of Authenticity as a record of its provenance in being produced by Egyptian Craftsmen and women.
