Wholesale availability

We do offer wholesale pricing! Please contact us for wholesale pricing or visit www.discoveriesinc.com.

Custom and personalized orders

We do offer personalized cartouche pendants. Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns. Once your order is placed, please contact us within 2 days for cancelations or changes to personalization.

Gift wrapping and packaging

We offer gift wrapping with unique Egyptian design wrapping paper, hieroglyphic boxes and gold pyramid boxes (for jewelry).

We cannot offer refunds due to USPS package delays. FedEx is much more reliable if you need your package to arrive by a certain time. Please select expedited shipping at checkout or contact us for expedited options to ensure timely package deliveries.

Silver jewelry requires occasional cleaning and extra care. Please read our blog post on how to clean tarnished jewelry. https://egyptianimports.com/blogs/news/how-to-clean-tarnished-jewelry

Due to the increase in missing packages from USPS, we have decided to offer a signature required shipping upgrade option. We highly suggest you upgrade your shipping as many of these items are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replaced. If your order is not shipped signature required, we will not be able to offer a refund if the tracking says “delivered” but the package is missing.

High Value Jewelry Shipping

Please note that we are not responsible for cartouches lost in shipping. In order to be confident in delivery, please choose "FedEx 2-Day Signature Required" at checkout. If your order is not shipped signature required, we will not be able to offer a refund if the tracking says “delivered” but the package is missing.

Our cartouches are solid gold and not gold plated! What is the difference between 14k & 18k Gold? The difference is this: pure gold is 24 karat, but it is too soft to work with, so silver and other metals are mixed in to make jewelry. 18k gold has 75% gold content; 14k has just under 60%. The look and feel of 14k & 18k pendants are the same, but 14k is less pure gold, and it costs about 20% less.

I/E/Y Cartouche Information

The hieroglyphic language is a phonetic language so there are three symbols that can be used for I/E/Y interchangeably. The artist chooses the symbol that will look best for your cartouche.

Customization Example

We do offer an opportunity to see the hieroglyphic symbols we will use for your cartouche. Please message us before you place an order for a personalization example.

Highlights

Handpicked by HistoryDefined
Vintage from the 1980s
Materials: Soapstone

These beautiful Egyptian Scarab collectibles are hand-carved soapstone (steatite). Collected in the '80s from the village of Gourna, near Luxor, Egypt. Very high quality, no longer being made. Scarabs will vary in design, color, and size. There is no hole drilled through the scarab.
The pricing is for one scarab.

The scarab sizes are approximately as follows:
2 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and .75 inches tall

The ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab was the earthly manifestation of the god Khepri, and pushed the sun across the sky each day, only to disappear and magically reappear the next morning. As such, it is a powerful amulet for self-creation, transformation, and rebirth. They were worn or carried by the living, and also buried with the dead to help them on their way to the afterlife. The base was usually inscribed with designs or hieroglyphs to form an impression seal.
