What is a Cartouche?
A Cartouche (pronounced "kar-toosh") is
actually a French word meaning 'gun cartridge'. When
Napoleon's soldiers were in Egypt, they called the oval
shaped etchings surrounding the king names "cartouche"
because it reminded them of the shape of their gun
cartridges, or bullets. Cartouches have a a long lasting
legend that dates back over 5000 years ago. A
Cartouche was originally designed for the Pharaohs to
be an amulet of protection. Each Cartouche had
the name of the person wearing it written in Egyptian
Hieroglyphics King Tut... Ramses... Nefertiti... Cleopatra.
Your personalized cartouche jewelry will be hand made
in our Cairo workshop. Custom orders welcomed.
