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.

*Please note:
Specifications dimensions are approximate, and are inclusive of the
"nut" for the chain. There are no refunds on cartouches as each one is a
personalized order. With the ever increasing
price of gold we feel it is important that you know exactly what you
are buying, so we have elected to publish the grams of gold. Your
personalized cartouche jewelry will not weigh less than what we publish,
this is the minimum it will weigh, in 99.9% of the cases your cartouche
will weigh more than what we publish. It is virtually impossible
to give an exact weight until the cartouche is complete as it will
depend on the symbols, and we feel giving a range, i.e. of 3 to 5 grams
of gold is extremely misleading. The artists reserve the right to choose
the hieroglyphic symbols and arrangement. (Some letters such as "a" "h" and
"m" have two symbols.) If you have particular symbols please
advise us in the "Special Instructions" box on the order form.
