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. |
